A pyramid with side length 5 contains 35 spheres. Each layer represents one of the first five triangular numbers. A tetrahedral number, or triangular pyramidal number, is a figurate number that represents a pyramid with a triangular base and three sides, called a tetrahedron.
A pyramid with side length 5 contains 35 spheres. Each layer represents one of the first five triangular numbers. A truncated triangular pyramid number [1] is found by removing some smaller tetrahedral number (or triangular pyramidal number) from each of the vertices of a bigger tetrahedral number.

The tetrahedron is one kind of pyramid, which is a polyhedron with a flat polygon base and triangular faces connecting the base to a common point. In the case of a tetrahedron, the base is a triangle (any of the four faces can be considered the base), so a tetrahedron is also known as a "triangular pyramid".
A triangular bipyramid is a hexahedron with six triangular faces constructed by attaching two tetrahedra face-to-face. The same shape is also known as a triangular dipyramid [1] [2] or trigonal bipyramid. [3] If these tetrahedra are regular, all faces of a triangular bipyramid are equilateral.
regular tetrahedron, a pyramid with four equilateral triangles, one of which can be considered the base. triangular bipyramid, regular octahedron, and pentagonal bipyramid; bipyramids with six, eight, and ten equilateral triangles, respectively. They are constructed by identical pyramids base-to-base.
A triangular-pyramid version of the cannonball problem, which is to yield a perfect square from the N th Tetrahedral number, would have N = 48. That means that the (24 × 2 = ) 48th tetrahedral number equals to (70 2 × 2 2 = 140 2 = ) 19600. This is comparable with the 24th square pyramid having a total of 70 2 cannonballs. [5]
In geometry, a hyperpyramid is a generalisation of the normal pyramid to n dimensions. In the case of the pyramid one connects all vertices of the base (a polygon in a plane) to a point outside the plane, which is the peak. The pyramid's height is the distance of the peak from the plane. This construction gets generalised to n dimensions.
