    The basic 3-dimensional element are the tetrahedron, quadrilateral pyramid, triangular prism, and hexahedron. They all have triangular and quadrilateral faces. Extruded 2-dimensional models may be represented entirely by the prisms and hexahedra as extruded triangles and quadrilaterals.

  3. Tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedron

    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".

  4. Pyramid (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A right pyramid is a pyramid whose base is circumscribed about a circle and the altitude of the pyramid meets the base at the circle's center; otherwise, it is oblique. [12] This pyramid may be classified based on the regularity of its bases. A pyramid with a regular polygon as the base is called a regular pyramid. [13]

  5. Triangular prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_prism

    In geometry, a triangular prism or trigonal prism [1] is a prism with 2 triangular bases. If the edges pair with each triangle's vertex and if they are perpendicular to the base, it is a right triangular prism. A right triangular prism may be both semiregular and uniform. The triangular prism can be used in constructing another polyhedron.

  6. Pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid

    Pyramid of Khafre, Egypt, built c. 2600 BC. A pyramid (from Ancient Greek πυραμίς (puramís) 'pyramid') [1] [2] is a structure whose visible surfaces are triangular in broad outline and converge toward the top, making the appearance roughly a pyramid in the geometric sense.

  7. Pentahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentahedron

    The square pyramid can be seen as a triangular prism where one of its side edges (joining two squares) is collapsed into a point, losing one edge and one vertex, and changing two squares into triangles. Geometric variations with irregular faces can also be constructed. Some irregular pentahedra with six vertices may be called wedges.

  8. List of centroids - Wikipedia

    b = the base side of the prism's triangular base, h = the height of the prism's triangular base L = the length of the prism see above for general triangular base Isosceles triangular prism: b = the base side of the prism's triangular base, h = the height of the prism's triangular base

  9. Deltahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deltahedron

    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.
