How is the number of pyramid related to the number of sides of the base?
because the the sides of a based form a face of a pyramid
A pyramid has a square base with sides 8 and a slant height of 5?
This pyramid would have a perpendicular height of 3, a volume of 64 units3 and a slant edge of 6.403
How many sides can the base of a pyramid have?
The base of a pyramid only has four sides, as it is a square. That is so not true. A tetrahedron is a pyramid with a triangular base. A pyramid can have any polygon as its base.
What are the different types of pyramids?
There are about three types of pyramids in Ancient Egypt: "True" pyramid- The typical pyramid, with smooth sides and hard edges(the pyramids you would imagine) Bent pyramid- Very smooth and has curved sides(obviously looks bent!) Stepped Pyramid- Has many steps to the top(it's a STEP pyramid!)
What was the first attempt for a classic pyramid shape?
The first classic "smooth sided" pyramid shape was attempted by the Pharaoh Sneferu, who founded the 4th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom. Sneferu reigned from either 24-48 years, around 2600BCE, and during this time he was responsible for three separate pyramids. His first pyramid, the Medium Pyramid seems to be the first attempt at the classic pyramid. The Medium Pyramid is famous because it appears to have collapsed and was never finished. Sneferu's second attempt was the Bent Pyramid, which gets it name from the sharp angle its sides take about halfway up the sides. The third pyramid that Sneferu attempted is the Red Pyramid and is the first classical pyramid and was the tallest manmade structure in the world until Khufu's Great Pyramid at Giza was constructed.
How is a triangular pyramid and a rectangular pyramid are different?
A triangular pyramid has 4 triangular sides. A rectangular pyramid has 2 triangular sides and 3 rectangular sides.
How many faces do a pyramid have?
A pyramid has 3 or 4 sides.
How mena side does pyramid?
I presume the question is meant to be: How many sides does a pyramid have? The answer is 4 or more. A pyramid has a polygonal base where the polygon can have 3 or more sides. Corresponding to each of these sides there will be a triangle rising to the apex of the pyramid. In all, a pyramid whose base is a polygon with n sides will have n+1 faces (sides).
How many equal side does a pyramid have?
A pyramid does not need to have any equal sides. A REGULAR pyramid has as many equal sides as the number of sides on the base. So, a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) will have 3 equal faces, a square based pyramid will have 4, etc.
What pyramid has 3 triangle sides and 1 square side?
That is no pyramid. If it has a square side, usually the base then it will have four triangular sides
What 3 dimensional shape has 5 sides?
a pyramid
How many face are on a triangular pyramid?
4 faces. The number of faces on a pyramid is one more than the number of sides of the base. A triangle has 3 sides, therefore a triangular pyramid has 3 +1 = 4 faces.
How many shapes of faces does a square pyramid and a triangular prism have?
Square Pyramid has a square base and 4 triangular sides. Triangular Pyramid has a triangle base and 3 triangular sides.
Can a pyramid have 3 triangles?
The answer depends upon what is meant by "have 3 triangles?" The definition of a pyramid is "a solid having a polygonal base, and triangular sides that meet in a point." (Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary) Typical pyramids have a 4-sided quadrilateral base and 4 triangular sides, which means that it can be loosely said to also "have" 3 triangles as well as "have" 4 triangles. A pyramid with a triangular base would also have 3 triangular sides. If we include the shape of the base as a side of the pyramid, then no pyramid would have exactly 3 "sides."
Name a 3 d shape with 4 sides?
A pyramid.
What has 6 sides and is 3- dimintional?
triangular based pyramid
How may sides are visible from the bottom view of a triangular pyramid?
You should see 3 sides since the base is triangular (3 sides)
