  2. Square pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_pyramid

    If the apex of the pyramid is directly above the center of the square, it is a right square pyramid with four isosceles triangles; otherwise, it is an oblique square pyramid. When all of the pyramid's edges are equal in length, its triangles are all equilateral. It is called an equilateral square pyramid, an example of a Johnson solid.

  3. Pyramid (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A right pyramid is a pyramid whose base is circumscribed about a circle and the altitude of the pyramid meets the base at the circle's center; otherwise, it is oblique. [12] This pyramid may be classified based on the regularity of its bases. A pyramid with a regular polygon as the base is called a regular pyramid. [13]

    If the area of the Square is 434 units. The area of the circle is 433.7. The ostracon depicting this diagram was found near the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. A curve is divided into five sections and the height of the curve is given in cubits, palms, and digits in each of the sections. [3] [4] At some point, lengths were standardized by cubit rods ...

    In Houdin's method, each ramp inside the pyramid ended at an open space, a notch temporarily left open in the edge of the construction. [53] This 10-square-meter clear space housed a crane that lifted and rotated each 2.5-ton block, to ready it for eight men to drag up the next internal ramp.

    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.

    The Pyramid of Djoser was first built as a square mastaba-like structure, which as a rule were known to otherwise be rectangular, and was expanded several times by way of a series of accretion layers, to produce the stepped pyramid structure we see today. [17]

    If we draw both circles, two new points are created at their intersections. Drawing lines between the two original points and one of these new points completes the construction of an equilateral triangle. Therefore, in any geometric problem we have an initial set of symbols (points and lines), an algorithm, and some results.
