Elongated Pentagonal Pyramid Formulas


Volume (\(\small{V}\))

\(\displaystyle V= \frac{5+\sqrt{5}+6·\sqrt{25+10·\sqrt{5}}}{24}·a^3\) \(\displaystyle \;\;\;\;≈ 2.022 ·a^3\)

Surface area (\(\small{S}\))

\(\displaystyle S= \frac{20+5·\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{25+10*\sqrt{5}}}{4} · a^2\;\;\;\;≈ 8.8854·a^2\)

Height (\(\small{h}\))

\(\displaystyle h=\left(1+\frac{5-\sqrt{5}}{10}\right) · a\;\;\;\;≈1.5257 ·a \)
