Geometry of the pyramids

The geometry of pyramids involves shapes with a flat base—often a polygon like a square or triangle—and triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex. The sides slope upward from the base to the apex, creating a three-dimensional figure. The number of faces and the shape of the base determine the pyramid’s type. Their geometry is important in understanding their surface area, volume, and structural strength. Pyramids are used in architecture and mathematics to illustrate spatial relationships and properties of polygons and triangles in three dimensions.
