      In geometry, the gyroelongated square pyramid is one of the Johnson solids (J10). As its name suggests, it can be constructed by taking a square pyramid and "gyroelongating" it, which in this case involves joining a square antiprism to its base.

      The 92 Johnson solids were named and described by Norman Johnson in 1966.

      Dual polyhedron

      The dual of the gyroelongated square pyramid has 9 faces: 4 trapezoidal, 1 square and 4 pentagonal.
