In geometry, the elongated pentagonal rotunda is one of the Johnson solids (J₂₁). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating a pentagonal rotunda (J₆) by attaching a decagonal prism to its base. It can also be seen as an elongated pentagonal orthobirotunda (J₄₂) with one pentagonal rotunda removed.

The 92 Johnson solids were named and described by Norman Johnson in 1966.

Formulae

The following formulae for volume and surface area can be used if all faces are regular, with edge length a:

$V=\frac{1}{12}(45+17\sqrt{5}+30\sqrt{5+2\sqrt{5}})a^3\approx14.612...a^3$

$A=\frac{1}{2}(20+\sqrt{5(145+58\sqrt{5}+2\sqrt{30(65+29\sqrt{5})})})a^2\approx32.3472...a^2$

Dual polyhedron

The dual of the elongated pentagonal rotunda has 30 faces: 10 isoceles triangles, 10 rhombi, and 10 quadrilaterals.
