Elongated bipyramid
In geometry, the elongated bipyramids are an infinite set of polyhedra, constructed by elongating an n-gonal bipyramid (by inserting an n-gonal prism between its congruent halves).
| Set of elongated bipyramids | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Faces | 2n triangles, n squares |
| Edges | 5n |
| Vertices | 2n+2 |
| Symmetry group | Dnh, [n,2], (*n22) |
| Rotation group | Dn, [n,2]+, (n22) |
| Dual polyhedron | bifrustums |
| Properties | convex |
There are three elongated bipyramids that are Johnson solids made from regular triangles and squares. Higher forms can be constructed with isosceles triangles.

gollark: I'm going to stick to using the unpacked version and (OH BEE) mildly bloating my website.
gollark: They should not be, detecting devtools is apious.
gollark: Hmm, no, the tons of random spam implies they don't.
gollark: Are you sure they don't just unconditionally print that?
gollark: Hmm. It is possible that trying to use the smallest possible implementation ever is NOT perfect and without flaw.
