The 19-4 step prism is a convex isogonal polychoron and a member of the step prism family. It has 95 phyllic disphenoids of five kinds as cells, with 20 joining at each vertex. It can also be constructed as the 19-5 step prism.

Using the ratio method, the lowest possible ratio between the longest and shortest edges is approximately 1:1.59884.

Vertex coordinates[edit | edit source]

Coordinates for the vertices of a 19-4 step prism inscribed in an enneadecagonal duoprism with base lengths a and b are given by:

  • ,

where k is an integer from 0 to 18. If the edge length differences are to be minimized, the ratio of a:b must be equivalent to 1: ≈ 1:1.21179.
