Elongated bicupola

Set of elongated bicupolae

Example pentagonal ortho form
Faces 2n triangles
4n squares
2 n-gon
Edges 12n
Vertices 6n
Symmetry group Ortho: Dnh, [2,n], (*n22), order 4n
Gyro: Dnd, [2+,2n], (2*n), order 4n
Properties convex

In geometry, the elongated bicupolae are two infinite sets of polyhedra, constructed by adjoining two n-gonal cupolas to an n-gonal prism. They have 2n triangles, 4n squares, and 2 n-gon. The ortho forms have the cupola aligned, while gyro forms are counter aligned.
