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 with regular faces is numbered as the twelfth Johnson solid . [10] It is an example of a composite polyhedron because it is constructed by attaching two regular tetrahedra. [11] [12] A triangular bipyramid's surface area is six times that of each triangle
It is an example of a composite polyhedron because it is constructed by attaching two regular pentagonal pyramids. [ 11 ] [ 2 ] A pentagonal bipyramid's surface area A {\displaystyle A} is 10 times that of all triangles, and its volume V {\displaystyle V} can be ascertained by slicing it into two pentagonal pyramids and adding their volume.
The elongated triangular bipyramid is constructed from a triangular prism by attaching two tetrahedrons onto its bases, a process known as the elongation. [1] These tetrahedrons cover the triangular faces so that the resulting polyhedron has nine faces (six of them are equilateral triangles and three of them are squares), fifteen edges, and eight vertices.

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]
It is an example of deltahedron and Johnson solid. It can be constructed in different approaches. This shape is also called Siamese dodecahedron, triangular dodecahedron, trigonal dodecahedron, or dodecadeltahedron. The snub disphenoid can be visualized as an atom cluster surrounding a central atom, that is the dodecahedral molecular geometry.
