Elongated cupola
In geometry, the elongated cupolae are an infinite set of polyhedra, constructed by adjoining an n-gonal cupola to an n-gonal prism.
| Set of elongated cupolae | |
|---|---|
 Example pentagonal form | |
| Faces | n triangles 3n squares 1 n-gon 1 2n-gon |
| Edges | 9n |
| Vertices | 5n |
| Symmetry group | Cnv, [n], (*nn) |
| Rotational group | Cn, [n]+, (nn) |
| Dual polyhedron | |
| Properties | convex |
There are three elongated cupolae that are Johnson solids made from regular triangles and square, and pentagons. Higher forms can be constructed with isosceles triangles. Adjoining a triangular prism to a cube also generates a polyhedron, but has adjacent parallel faces, so is not a Johnson solid. Higher forms can be constructed without regular faces.
Forms
| name | faces | |
|---|---|---|
| elongated triangular prism | 2 triangles, 6+1 squares | |
 | elongated triangular cupola (J18) | 3+1 triangles, 9 squares, 1 hexagon |
 | elongated square cupola (J19) | 4 triangles, 12+1 squares, 1 octagon |
| elongated pentagonal cupola (J20) | 5 triangles, 15 squares, 1 pentagon, 1 decagon |
| elongated hexagonal cupola | 6 triangles, 18 squares, 1 hexagon, 1 dodecagon |
gollark: I'm not actually entirely sure, but it would involve a bunch of meddling with a "cursor", and you would have to get each column by index instead of name.
gollark: See? This is quite nice. It turns the results into a usable and non-annoying form. It uses prepared statements for efficiency.
gollark: This is the example:```javascriptconst db = require('better-sqlite3')('foobar.db', options); const row = db.prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?').get(userId);console.log(row.firstName, row.lastName, row.email);```
gollark: I didn't mean to EXECUTE it.
