In geometry, the triaugmented triangular prism is one of the Johnson solids (J51). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by attaching square pyramids (J1) to each of the three equatorial faces of the triangular prism . It is a deltahedron.

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

[edit] Dual polyhedron

Dual of triaugmented triangular prism.png
The dual of the triaugmented triangular prism is an order-5 associahedron. This transparent image shows its three square, and six congruent irregular pentagonal faces. Edges are colored to distinguish the 3 different edge lengths.
