13.3 Right pyramids, right cones and spheres EMA7Q

DEFINITION: Pyramid

A pyramid is a geometric solid that has a polygon as its base and faces that converge at a point called the apex.

In other words the faces arenotperpendicular to the base.

The triangular pyramid and square pyramid take their names from the shape of their base. We call a pyramid a
“right pyramid” if the line between the apex and the centre of the base is perpendicular to the base. Cones are
similar to pyramids except that their bases are circles instead of polygons. Spheres are solids that are perfectly
round and look the same from any direction.

Examples of a square pyramid, a triangular pyramid, a cone and a sphere:
