In geometry, the pentagonal cupola is one of the Johnson solids (J5). It can be obtained as a slice of the rhombicosidodecahedron. The pentagonal cupola consists of 5 equilateral triangles, 5 squares, 1 pentagon, and 1 decagon.

Properties

[edit]

The pentagonal cupola's faces are five equilateral triangles, five squares, one regular pentagon, and one regular decagon.[1] It has the property of convexity and regular polygonal faces, from which it is classified as the fifth Johnson solid.[2] This cupola produces two or more regular polyhedrons by slicing it with a plane, an elementary polyhedron's example.[3]

The following formulae for circumradius , and height , surface area , and volume may be applied if all faces are regular with edge length :[4]

It has an axis of symmetry passing through the center of both top and base, which is symmetrical by rotating around it at one-, two-, three-, and four-fifth of a full-turn angle. It is also mirror-symmetric relative to any perpendicular plane passing through a bisector of the hexagonal base. Therefore, it has pyramidal symmetry, the cyclic group of order ten.[3]

[edit]

The pentagonal cupola can be applied to construct a polyhedron. A construction that involves the attachment of its base to another polyhedron is known as augmentation; attaching it to prisms or antiprisms is known as elongation or gyroelongation.[5][6] Some of the Johnson solids with such constructions are: elongated pentagonal cupola , gyroelongated pentagonal cupola , pentagonal orthobicupola , pentagonal gyrobicupola , pentagonal orthocupolarotunda , pentagonal gyrocupolarotunda , elongated pentagonal orthobicupola , elongated pentagonal gyrobicupola , elongated pentagonal orthocupolarotunda , gyroelongated pentagonal bicupola , gyroelongated pentagonal cupolarotunda , augmented truncated dodecahedron , parabiaugmented truncated dodecahedron , metabiaugmented truncated dodecahedron , triaugmented truncated dodecahedron , gyrate rhombicosidodecahedron , parabigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron , metabigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron , and trigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron . Relatedly, a construction from polyhedra by removing one or more pentagonal cupolas is known as diminishment: diminished rhombicosidodecahedron , paragyrate diminished rhombicosidodecahedron , metagyrate diminished rhombicosidodecahedron , bigyrate diminished rhombicosidodecahedron , parabidiminished rhombicosidodecahedron , metabidiminished rhombicosidodecahedron , gyrate bidiminished rhombicosidodecahedron , and tridiminished rhombicosidodecahedron .[1]
