In geometry, the gyroelongated pentagonal pyramid is one of the Johnson solids ( $J 11$ ). As its name suggests, it is formed by taking a pentagonal pyramid and "gyroelongating" it, which in this case involves joining a pentagonal antiprism to its base.

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]

It can also be seen as a diminished icosahedron, an icosahedron with the top (a pentagonal pyramid, $J 2$ ) chopped off by a plane. Other Johnson solids can be formed by cutting off multiple pentagonal pyramids from an icosahedron: the pentagonal antiprism and metabidiminished icosahedron (two pyramids removed), and the tridiminished icosahedron (three pyramids removed).

Dual polyhedron

The dual of the gyroelongated pentagonal pyramid has 11 faces: 5 kites, 1 regular pentagonal and 5 irregular pentagons.
