3D model of a biaugmented triangular prism

In geometry, the biaugmented triangular prism is a polyhedron constructed from a triangular prism by attaching two equilateral square pyramids onto two of its square faces. It is an example of Johnson solid.

Construction

The biaugmented triangular prism can be constructed from a triangular prism by attaching two equilateral square pyramids onto its two square faces, a process known as augmentation.[1] These square pyramid covers the square face of the prism, so the resulting polyhedron has 10 equilateral triangles and 1 square as its faces.[2] A convex polyhedron in which all faces are regular is Johnson solid, and the biaugmented triangular prism is among them, enumerated as 50th Johnson solid .[3]

  • Triaugmented triangular prism — the 51st Johnson solid, constructed by attaching a triangular prism with three equilateral square pyramids.
