The pentagonal rotunda is a convex polyhedron with regular polygonal faces. These faces comprise ten equilateral triangles, six regular pentagons, and one regular decagon, making a total of seventeen.[1] The pentagonal rotunda is an example of Johnson solid, enumerated as the sixth Johnson solid .[2] It is another example of a elementary polyhedron because by slicing it with a plane, the resulting smaller convex polyhedra do not have regular faces.[3]
The pentagonal rotunda can be regarded as half of an icosidodecahedron, an Archimedean solid, or as half of a pentagonal orthobirotunda, another Johnson solid. Both polyhedrons are constructed by attaching two pentagonal rotundas base-to-base. The difference is one of the pentagonal rotundas is twisted. Other Johnson solids constructed by attaching to the base of a pentagonal rotunda are elongated pentagonal rotunda, gyroelongated pentagonal rotunda, pentagonal orthocupolarotunda, pentagonal gyrocupolarotunda, elongated pentagonal orthocupolarotunda, elongated pentagonal gyrocupolarotunda, elongated pentagonal orthobirotunda, elongated pentagonal gyrobirotunda, gyroelongated pentagonal cupolarotunda, and gyroelongated pentagonal birotunda.[4]
As an above, the surface area and volume of a pentagonal rotunda are the following:[1]
