  Pendentive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pendentives, which are triangular segments of a sphere, taper to points at the bottom and spread at the top to establish the continuous circular or elliptical base needed for the dome.

Pendentives were commonly used in Renaissance and baroque churches, with a drum often inserted between the dome and pendentives.
