  2. Square pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_pyramid

    Square pyramids have appeared throughout the history of architecture, with examples being Egyptian pyramids and many other similar buildings. They also occur in chemistry in square pyramidal molecular structures. Square pyramids are often used in the construction of other polyhedra. Many mathematicians in ancient times discovered the formula ...

  3. Pyramid (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_(geometry)

    [15] [16] Examples are square pyramid and pentagonal pyramid, a four- and five-triangular faces pyramid with a square and pentagon base, respectively; they are classified as the first and second Johnson solid if their regular faces and edges that are equal in length, and their symmetries are C 4v of order 8 and C 5v of order 10, respectively.

  4. Elongated square bipyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elongated_square_bipyramid

    Its dihedral angle can be obtained in a similar way as the elongated square pyramid, by adding the angle of square pyramids and a cube: [7] The dihedral angle of an elongated square bipyramid between two adjacent triangles is the dihedral angle of an equilateral triangle between its lateral faces, arccos ⁡ ( − 1 / 3 ) ≈ 109.47 ∘ ...

  5. Pentagonal bipyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal_bipyramid

    the dihedral angle of a pentagonal bipyramid between two adjacent triangles is that of a pentagonal pyramid, approximately 138.2°, and; the dihedral angle of a pentagonal bipyramid with regular faces between two adjacent triangular faces, on the edge where two pyramids are attached, is 74.8°, obtained by summing the dihedral angle of a ...

  6. Octahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octahedron

    This can be obtained from the dihedral angle of an equilateral square pyramid: its dihedral angle between two adjacent triangular faces is the dihedral angle of an equilateral square pyramid between two adjacent triangular faces, and its dihedral angle between two adjacent triangular faces on the edge in which two equilateral square pyramids ...

    Scholars have spent decades delving into what techniques the builders used to position the pyramid’s so they face almost absolute north, south, east & west. Giza pyramid’s nearly perfect ...

  8. Pentagonal pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal_pyramid

    Pentagonal pyramids can be found in a small stellated dodecahedron. Pentagonal pyramids can be found as components of many polyhedrons. Attaching its base to the pentagonal face of another polyhedron is an example of the construction process known as augmentation, and attaching it to prisms or antiprisms is known as elongation or gyroelongation, respectively.

    Archaeologists claim this pyramid is 27,000 years is old. But some scientists argue the structure can't be that ancient—and that humans couldn't have built it.
