Gyroelongated dipyramid

Gyroelongated dipyramid

In geometry, the gyroelongated dipyramids are an infinite set of polyhedra, constructed by elongating an "n"-agonal bipyramid by inserting an "n"-agonal antiprism between its congruent halves.

Two members of the set can be deltahedra, that is, constructed entirely of equilateral triangles: the gyroelongated square dipyramid, a Johnson solid, and the icosahedron, a Platonic solid. The other members can be constructed with isosceles triangles.
