geometry , the pentagonal gyrobicupola is one of theJohnson solid s ("J"31). Like thepentagonal orthobicupola ("J"30), it can be obtained by joining twopentagonal cupola e ("J"5) along their bases. The difference is that in this solid, the two halves are rotated 36 degrees with respect to one another.The "pentagonal gyrobicupola" is the third in an infinite set of gyrobicupolae.
The pentagonal gyrobicupola is what you get when you take a
rhombicosidodecahedron , chop out the middleparabidiminished rhombicosidodecahedron ("J"80), and paste the two opposing cupolae back together.The 92 Johnson solids were named and described by
Norman Johnson in1966 .External links
