In geometry, the gyroelongated square cupola is one of the Johnson solids (J23). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by gyroelongating a square cupola (J4) by attaching an octagonal antiprism to its base. It can also be seen as a gyroelongated square bicupola (J45) with one square bicupola removed.
A Johnson solid is one of 92 strictly convex polyhedra that is composed of regular polygon faces but are not uniform polyhedra (that is, they are not Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, prisms, or antiprisms). They were named by Norman Johnson, who first listed these polyhedra in 1966.[1]
Area and Volume
The surface area is,
The volume is the sum of the volume of a square cupola and the volume of an octagonal prism,
Dual polyhedron
The dual of the gyroelongated square cupola has 20 faces: 8 kites, 4 rhombi, and 8 pentagons.
