The Elongated Triangular Cupola
The elongated triangular cupola is the 18th Johnson solid (J18). It has 15 vertices, 27 edges, and 14 faces (4 equilateral triangles, 9 squares, and 1 hexagon).
The elongated triangular cupola can be constructed by attaching a hexagonal prism to a triangular cupola, lengthening it; hence the name elongated.
