In geometry, the pentagonal rotunda is one of the Johnson solids (J₆). It can be seen as half an icosidodecahedron.

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

Formulae

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

$V=(\frac{1}{12}(45+17\sqrt{5}))a^3\approx6.91776...a^3$

$A=(\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{5(145+58\sqrt{5}+2\sqrt{30(65+29\sqrt{5})})})a^2\approx22.3472...a^2$

$C=(\frac{1}{2}(1+\sqrt{5}))a\approx1.61803...a$

Dual polyhedron

The dual of the pentagonal rotunda has 20 faces: 10 triangular, 5 rhombic, and 5 kites.
