In [[geometry]], the '''square [[cupola (geometry)|cupola]]''', sometimes called '''lesser dome''', is one of the [[Johnson solid]]s (''J''<sub>4</sub>). It can be obtained as a slice of the [[rhombicuboctahedron]].  As in all cupolae, the base [[polygon]] has twice as many [[edge (geometry)|edge]]s and [[vertex (geometry)|vertices]] as the top; in this case the base polygon is an [[octagon]].

==Formulae==
The following [[formula]]e for [[volume]], [[surface area]], and [[circumscribed sphere|circumradius]] can be used if all [[faces (geometry)|faces]] are [[regular polygon|regular]], with edge length ''a'':<ref>[[Stephen Wolfram]], "[http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Square+cupola Square cupola]" from [[Wolfram Alpha]].
