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).

Coordinates
The Cartesian coordinates of the augmented dodecahedron, centered on the origin and with edge length 2, are:
- (0, ±φ2, ±1)
- (±1, 0, ±φ2)
- (±φ2, ±1, 0)
- (±φ, ±φ, ±φ)
- (0, (7+φ)/5, (8φ+1)/5)
where φ=(1+√5)/2 is the Golden Ratio.
