The Elongated Triangular Pyramid
The elongated triangular pyramid is the 7th Johnson solid (J7). It has 7 vertices, 12 edges, and 7 faces (4 equilateral triangles and 3 squares).
The elongated triangular pyramid can be constructed by attaching a tetrahedron to a triangular prism.
Attaching another tetrahedron to the other end of the triangular prism produces the elongated triangular bipyramid (J14).
