Biaugmented pentagonal prism

Type
  
Johnson J52 - J53 - J54

In geometry, the biaugmented pentagonal prism is one of the Johnson solids (J53). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by doubly augmenting a pentagonal prism by attaching square pyramids (J1) to two of its nonadjacent equatorial faces. (The solid obtained by attaching pyramids to adjacent equatorial faces is not convex, and thus not a Johnson solid.)

A Johnson solid is one of 92 strictly convex polyhedra that have regular faces but are not uniform (that is, they are not Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, prisms or antiprisms). They were named by Norman Johnson, who first listed these polyhedra in 1966.
