| - A pentagonal pyramid is a three-dimension polyhedron created by taking the pyramid of a pentagon. This makes it the segmentope between a pentagon and a point.
- The regular pentagonal pyramid has a base that is a regular pentagon and lateral faces that are equilateral triangles. It is one of the Johnson solids (J2). Its height H, from the midpoint of the pentagonal face to the apex, (as a function of a, where a is the side length), can be computed as: , while its surface area, A, can be computed as: It can be seen as the "lid" of an icosahedron; the rest of the icosahedron forms a gyroelongated pentagonal pyramid, J11. The 92 Johnson solids were named and described by Norman Johnson in 1966. The volume of a pentagonal pyramid is:

The 92 Johnson solids were named and described by Norman Johnson in 1966. More generally an order-2 vertex-uniform pentagonal pyramid can be defined with a regular pentagonal base and 5 isosceles triangle sides of any height. The volume of a pentagonal pyramid is:
