The Augmented Dodecahedron


The augmented dodecahedron (J58) is the 58th Johnson solid. It has 21 vertices, 35 edges, and 16 faces (11 pentagons and 5 triangles). It can be constructed augmenting a dodecahedron with a pentagonal pyramid.

Adding a second pentagonal pyramid on the opposite side produces the parabiaugmented dodecahedron (J59). Adding the second pyramid to a face one edge away from the first pyramid produces instead the metabiaugmented dodecahedron (J60).
