a triangle-based pyramid
No. The three vertices would all lie on one line.
Triangular prism * * * * * No. It is a triangular pyramid or a tetrahedron. A triangular prism has 6 vertices and 5 faces.
Triangle
It is a mathematical equation that allows you to "solve" a triangle (find all length and angle values), if you know 2 sides and an included angle, or all three sides. It doesn't have to be a right triangle. You can find the cosine on a calculator easily.c2 = a2 + b2- 2ab cos CC = included anglec = side opposite angle C (c)a = side ab = side bThe cosine law relates the length of the sides of a triangle to one of the angles in the triangle. If the triangle is labelled with vertices A, B, C with usual notation for edges (ie a is the side opposite the vertex A, so not touching A) and if x is the angle at vertex C then the cosine law says (c^2)=(a^2)+(b^2)-2abcos(x)
