Gyroelongated square pyramid
In geometry, the gyroelongated square pyramid is one of the Johnson solids (J10). As its name suggests, it can be constructed by taking a square pyramid and "gyroelongating" it, which in this case inv
Octagonal bipyramid
The octagonal bipyramid is one of the infinite set of bipyramids, dual to the infinite prisms. If an octagonal bipyramid is to be face-transitive, all faces must be isosceles triangles. 16-sided dice

Bipyramid
A (symmetric) n-gonal bipyramid or dipyramid is a polyhedron formed by joining an n-gonal pyramid and its mirror image base-to-base. An n-gonal bipyramid has 2n triangle faces, 3n edges, and 2 + n ver

In geometry, the elongated square bipyramid (or elongated octahedron) is one of the Johnson solids (J15). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by elongating an octahedron by inserting a cube be
Pyramid (geometry)
In geometry, a pyramid (from Greek πυραμίς (pyramís)) is a polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base and a point, called the apex. Each base edge and apex form a triangle, called a lateral face
Square pyramid
In geometry, a square pyramid is a pyramid having a square base. If the apex is perpendicularly above the center of the square, it is a right square pyramid, and has C4v symmetry. If all edge lengths
