Geometry
Geometry arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers ....

, the gyroelongated pentagonal rotunda is one of the Johnson solid
Johnson solid
In geometry, a Johnson solid is a strictly convex polyhedron, each face of which is a regular polygon, but which is not uniform, i.e., not a Platonic solid, Archimedean solid, prism or antiprism. There is no requirement that each face must be the same polygon, or that the same polygons join around...

s (J25). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by gyroelongating a pentagonal rotunda
Pentagonal rotunda
In geometry, the pentagonal rotunda is one of the Johnson solids . It can be seen as half an icosidodecahedron.The 92 Johnson solids were named and described by Norman Johnson in 1966.-Formulae:...

Decagonal antiprism
In geometry, the decagonal antiprism is the eighth in an infinite set of antiprisms formed by an even-numbered sequence of triangle sides closed by two polygon caps.If faces are all regular, it is a semiregular polyhedron.- External links :*...

Gyroelongated pentagonal birotunda
In geometry, the gyroelongated pentagonal birotunda is one of the Johnson solids . As the name suggests, it can be constructed by gyroelongating a pentagonal birotunda by inserting a decagonal antiprism between its two halves.The gyroelongated pentagonal birotunda is one of five Johnson solids...

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

Dual polyhedron

The dual of the gyroelongated pentagonal rotunda has 30 faces: 12 kites, 6 rhombi, and 12 quadrilaterals.
