  2. Pyramidal number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidal_number

    The term often refers to square pyramidal numbers, which have a square base with four sides, but it can also refer to a pyramid with any number of sides. [2] The numbers of points in the base and in layers parallel to the base are given by polygonal numbers of the given number of sides, while the numbers of points in each triangular side is ...

  3. Pyramid (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    [21] [22] A tetrahedron or triangular pyramid is an example that has four equilateral triangles, with all edges equal in length, and one of them is considered as the base. Because the faces are regular, it is an example of a Platonic solid and deltahedra, and it has tetrahedral symmetry. [23] [24] A pyramid with the base as circle is known as ...

    Happily the context of 51 and 52, together with the base, mid-line, and smaller triangle area (which are given as 4 + 1/2, 2 + 1/4 and 7 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8, respectively) make it possible to interpret the problem and its solution as has been done here. The given paraphrase therefore represents a consistent best guess as to the problem's intent ...

  5. Square pyramidal number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_pyramidal_number

    As well as counting spheres in a pyramid, these numbers can be used to solve several other counting problems. For example, a common mathematical puzzle involves counting the squares in a large n by n square grid. [11] This count can be derived as follows: The number of 1 × 1 squares in the grid is n 2. The number of 2 × 2 squares in the grid ...

    where x, y, z are the number of times each of the three outcomes does occur; n is the number of trials and equals the sum of x+y+z; and P A, P B, P C are the probabilities that each of the three events could occur. For example, in a three-way election, the candidates got these votes: A, 16 %; B, 30 %; C, 54 %.

    Let radial group 7=7,17,27,37,47 Let radial group 8=8,18,28,38,48 Let radial group 9=9,19,29,39,49 Let center group =5,15,25,35,45. Arrange group 1,2,3,4,6,7,9 radially such that each number occupies one position on circle; alternate the direction such that one radial has smallest number at the outside, the adjacent radial has largest number ...

  8. 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.

  9. Pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    The number π (/ p aɪ / ⓘ; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.
