Is a pyramid just a 3 dimensional triangle?

[SandyCat]

Am I onto something here?

 

[Hololive]

Yes, but we really should be investigating the conspiracy of a three dimensional circle, which is basically a point (and thus should only have 1 dimension).

A 3 dimensional triangle is a prism. A pyramid is a pyramid.

 

[John Furrman]

All pyramidal forms are keenly attuned to the 4th dimension. It's intrinsic of their geometry. The pyramids of Giza are all in fact hyperpyramids. This is the source of power that the ancients were able to tap into and time has forgotten. You're definitely onto something.

I don't know. Is math related to science?

 

[Catler]

No, it’s 1/2 of a regular octahedron.

A 3 dimensional triangle is a prism. A pyramid is a pyramid.

a 3d triangle as an extension of the simplex series is a triangle-based pyramid, or tetrahedron, which is also one type of pyramid

i'm pretty sure we learned this in first grade you retards

science developed from natural philosophy. classical philosophy had a weird interrelationship with geometry because of plato's autism or some shit idk
so it's related directly without even talking about maths which we consider geometry to be a subset of now but it's a bit more complicated than that

We’d need to ask the aliens who built them.

don't care bud asked about triangles, not simplexes
a triangle forced by the hubris of man from a 2d plane to a 3d world is a prism, and a simplex pyramid ain't a prism

cool word salad but i'm sending you back to 0th grade

SIMPLICES

 

[Smug]

No.

A pyramid isn't  just a 3d triangle, (but a 3d triangle arguably could be one kind of pyramid depending on how you've extended it into the third dimension). It has a base that can be what, any straight-sided non-overlapping 2d shape? Circles are out, for example, cause that's a cone.

Pyramid side faces will always be triangles though.

 

[Grub]

No pyramids are four triangles on top of a square.

self-intersecting polygons aren't technically against the rules for the base but otherwise yeah

 

[Just A Fat Round Bird]

Well to be precise a triangle is a 2 dimensional simplex, a tetrahedron is a 3 dimensional simplex and the concept of a simplex is defined for n dimensions.

 

[Fatniggo1488]

Nah man, it's THE PEOPLE'S return ship home in case you evil W*tes fuck things up too much here.

 

[Involuntary Celebrity]

actually I brain farted on the prism bit (idk the question wasn't talking about prisms and I have optical elements that actually are pyramids) so that never happened

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Like @Involuntary Celebrity said, it's a tetrahedron.

(a tetrahedron is a kind of pyramid though)

A 3 dimensional triangle is a prism. A pyramid is a pyramid.

a pyramid is 2/3rds of a 3d triangle (2 out of 3 vertices made 3d).
