For example, a regular hexagon bisects into two type 1 pentagons. Subdivision of convex hexagons is also possible with three (type 3), four (type 4) and nine (type 3) pentagons. By extension of this relation, a plane can be tessellated by a single pentagonal prototile shape in ways that generate hexagonal overlays. For example:
A hexagonal pyramid has seven vertices, twelve edges, and seven faces. One of its faces is hexagon, a base of the pyramid; six others are triangles. Six of the edges make up the pentagon by connecting its six vertices, and the other six edges are known as the lateral edges of the pyramid, meeting at the seventh vertex called the apex.

The hexagonal bipyramid has a plane of symmetry (which is horizontal in the figure to the right) where the bases of the two pyramids are joined. This plane is a regular hexagon. There are also six planes of symmetry crossing through the two apices. These planes are rhombic and lie at 30° angles to each other, perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
A heptahedron can take a large number of different basic forms, or topologies. The most familiar are the hexagonal pyramid and the pentagonal prism. Also notable is the tetrahemihexahedron, which can be seen as a tessellation of the real projective plane. No heptahedra are regular.

Pentagonal pyramids are added to the 12 pentagonal faces of the snub dodecahedron, and triangular pyramids are added to the 20 triangular faces that do not share an edge with a pentagon. The pyramid heights are adjusted to make them coplanar with the other 60 triangular faces of the snub dodecahedron. The result is the pentagonal ...
In geometry, the elongated bipyramids are an infinite set of polyhedra, constructed by elongating an n-gonal bipyramid (by inserting an n-gonal prism between its congruent halves).
