PYRAMID
• A pyramid is a polyhedron containing
triangular lateral faces with a common vertex
and a base which is a polygon.
• A pyramid is a right pyramid if the line joining
the vertex and the center of base is
perpendicular to the plane of the base.
Otherwise, the pyramid is said to be oblique.
• If the base of a right pyramid is a regular
polygon then the solid is said to be a regular
pyramid.
Solid Mensuration by Earnhart
• A pyramid is named by the type of polygon in
its base.
