  2. 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".

  3. Triangular bipyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_bipyramid

    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.

  4. Pyramid (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    The base regularity of a pyramid's base may be classified based on the type of polygon: one example is the star pyramid in which its base is the regular star polygon. [24] The truncated pyramid is a pyramid cut off by a plane; if the truncation plane is parallel to the base of a pyramid, it is called a frustum.

  5. Pentagonal pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal_pyramid

    In geometry, a pentagonal pyramid is a pyramid with a pentagon base and five triangular faces, having a total of six faces. It is categorized as a Johnson solid if all of the edges are equal in length, forming equilateral triangular faces and a regular pentagonal base. Pentagonal pyramids occur as pieces and tools in the construction of many ...

  6. Elongated triangular bipyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elongated_triangular_bipyramid

    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. [2]

  7. Square pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_pyramid

    A square pyramid has five vertices, eight edges, and five faces. One face, called the base of the pyramid, is a square; the four other faces are triangles. [2] Four of the edges make up the square by connecting its four vertices. The other four edges are known as the lateral edges of the pyramid; they meet at the fifth vertex, called the apex. [3]

  8. Bipyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipyramid

    A bipyramid is a polyhedron constructed by fusing two pyramids which share the same polygonal base; [1] a pyramid is in turn constructed by connecting each vertex of its base to a single new vertex (the apex) not lying in the plane of the base, for an n-gonal base forming n triangular faces in addition to the base face.

  9. Pentagonal bipyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal_bipyramid

    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 pentagonal pyramid between the triangular face and the base.
