A pyramid is a solid shape with a polygon base and triangular faces that meet at an apex. The base need not be a square as is often assumed in many of the answers here.

For a pyramid with a base that is a polygon with r sides where r is an integer greater than 2, the nth pyramidal numbe is:

P(r, n) = [(3n2 + n3*(r-2) - n(r - 5)]/6
