Elongated pyramid

In geometry, the elongated pyramids are an infinite set of polyhedra, constructed by adjoining an pyramid to an prism. Along with the set of pyramids, these figures are topologically self-dual.

There are three elongated pyramids that are Johnson solids:

• Elongated triangular pyramid (),
• Elongated square pyramid (), and
• Elongated pentagonal pyramid ().

Higher forms can be constructed with isosceles triangles.
