Augmented dodecahedron
Encyclopedia
In geometry
, the augmented dodecahedron is one of the Johnson solid
s (J58), consisting of a dodecahedron with a pentagonal pyramid
attached to one of the faces. When two or three such pyramids are attached, the result may be a parabiaugmented dodecahedron
, a metabiaugmented dodecahedron
or a triaugmented dodecahedron
.
The 92 Johnson solids were named and described by Norman Johnson in 1966.
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 ....

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...

Pentagonal pyramid
In geometry, a pentagonal pyramid is a pyramid with a pentagonal base upon which are erected five triangular faces that meet at a point . Like any pyramid, it is self-dual....
