  2. Polyhedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyhedron

    For example, triaugmented triangular prism is a composite polyhedron since it can be constructed by attaching three equilateral square pyramids onto the square faces of a triangular prism; the square pyramids and the triangular prism are elementary. [25] A canonical polyhedron

  3. Great Pyramid of Giza - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pyramid_of_Giza

    The Queen's Chamber is exactly halfway between the north and south faces of the pyramid. It measures 10 cubits (5.2 m; 17.2 ft) north-south, 11 cubits (5.8 m; 18.9 ft) east-west, [175] and has a pointed roof that apexes at 12 cubits (6.3 m; 20.6 ft) tall. [176] At the eastern end of the chamber is a niche 9 cubits (4.7 m; 15.5 ft) high. The ...

    Some of the polyhedrons do have eight faces aside from being square bipyramids in the following: Hexagonal prism: Two faces are parallel regular hexagons; six squares link corresponding pairs of hexagon edges. Heptagonal pyramid: One face is a heptagon (usually regular), and the remaining seven faces are triangles (usually isosceles). All ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_(architecture)

    Forms can have regular shape (stable, usually with an axis or plane of symmetry, like a triangle or pyramid), or irregular; the latter can sometimes be constructed by combining multiple forms (additive forms, composition) or removing one form from another (subtractive forms). [1] Multiple forms can be organized in different ways: [1]

  6. Pyramid of Nyuserre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_of_Nyuserre

    The pyramid has its own enclosure and bears the standard T-shaped substructure of passage and chambers. [5] It had a base length of approximately 15.5 m (51 ft; 29.6 cu) and a peak approximately 10.5 m (34 ft; 20.0 cu) high. [117] The pyramid's single chamber was built by digging a pit into the ground.

    The Great Pyramid has a base measurement of ca. 750 x 750 ft (≙ 230.4 x 230.4 m) and today a height of 455.2 ft (138.7 m). Once it had been 481 ft (147 m) high, but the pyramidion and the limestone casing are completely lost due to stone robbery.

  8. Golden ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

    Primarily, each intersection of edges sections other edges in the golden ratio. The ratio of the length of the shorter segment to the segment bounded by the two intersecting edges (that is, a side of the inverted pentagon in the pentagram's center) is ⁠ φ {\displaystyle \varphi } ⁠ , as the four-color illustration shows.

  9. Icosidodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosidodecahedron

    In geometry, an icosidodecahedron or pentagonal gyrobirotunda is a polyhedron with twenty (icosi-) triangular faces and twelve (dodeca-) pentagonal faces. An icosidodecahedron has 30 identical vertices , with two triangles and two pentagons meeting at each, and 60 identical edges, each separating a triangle from a pentagon.
