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.
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.
In geometry, a tetrahedron (pl.: tetrahedra or tetrahedrons), also known as a triangular pyramid, is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces, six straight edges, and four vertices. The tetrahedron is the simplest of all the ordinary convex polyhedra .
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.

In the case of a triangular prism, its base is a triangle, so its volume can be calculated by multiplying the area of a triangle and the length of the prism: , where b is the length of one side of the triangle, h is the length of an altitude drawn to that side, and l is the distance between the triangular faces.

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]
An elongated triangular pyramid with edge length has a height, by adding the height of a regular tetrahedron and a triangular prism: [4] (+). Its surface area can be calculated by adding the area of all eight equilateral triangles and three squares: [2] (+), and its volume can be calculated by slicing it into a regular tetrahedron and a prism, adding their volume up: [2]: ((+)).
