 Chemistry: The Central Science, Chapter 9, Section 2
We see that the trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry of NH is a consequence of its tetrahedral electron-domain geometry.
The most stable electron-domain geometry for five electron domains is the trigonal bipyramid (two trigonal pyramids sharing a base).
As noted earlier, we call this shape trigonal pyramidal (a pyramid with an equilateral triangle as its base).

 How Probe Tip Geometry Affects Contact Reliability
A chisel contacting the rim of an open via is a special case (a chisel is essentially a pyramid with a triangular base).
This attack angle principle is the same for the various blade point styles (a blade is essentially a pyramid with a diamond-shaped base), but the pressures are higher since there are two points of contact on the rim of the hole instead of three.
The area of contact is easy to envision - it is spread over three regions which are the points of contact between the rim of the hole and the three ridges formed by the intersections of the chisel faces.

Using the pyramid method we have 20 equilateral triangular faces which serve as the base to a pyramid whose topmost point is the centroid of the icosa.
The sides of the icosa are all the \/¯5 geometry of the pentagon: s = [2 / \/¯(ز + 1) ] * radius.
It appears on the surface that the icosahedron is \/¯3 geometry, because it's faces are all equilateral triangles.

 Solid geometry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eudoxus established their mensuration, proving the pyramid and cone to have one-third the content of a prism and cylinder on the same base and of the same height, and was probably the discoverer of a proof that the volumes of spheres are as the cubes of their radii.
In mathematics, solid geometry was the traditional name for the geometry of three-dimensional Euclidean space— for practical purposes the kind of space we live in.
Analytic geometry and vector techniques have a major impact by allowing the systematic use of linear equations and matrix algebra; this becomes more important for higher dimensions.

Pyramid (geometry), solid figure formed by connecting every point on or interior to a plane polygon to a single point not in the plane.
A pyramid is thus a special case of a cone or of a polyhedron, a solid bounded by planes.
The volume of a pyramid is thus one-third of the volume of a prism that has the same base and altitude.

Measurements throughout the pyramid show that its constructors knew of the proportions of pi (3.14...), phi or the Golden Mean (1.618), and the "Pythagorean" triangles thousands of years before Pythagoras, the so-called father of geometry, lived.
The pyramid is a scale model of the hemisphere, incorporating the geographical degrees of latitude and longitude.

 The Geometry of the Bent Pyramid
Irregularities in the form of the Bent Pyramid, which Dorner attributes to settlements in the core-masonry, are found to reflect the complexities encountered by the builders in the fulfilment of an exceptionally ambitious project.
Soon after the construction of the Bent Pyramid, the measure of 280 cubits was used for the height of the Great Pyramid, which was divided into parts of 82 and 198 or 2 x 99 cubits at the level of the 'King's Chamber'.
It is generally assumed that the unique double-sloping profile of the Bent Pyramid was brought about during the construction when the builders, noticing a settlement in the masonry, decided to reduce the pyramid's eventual volume by lessening the external casing-angle.

 Triangle Sacred Geometry, from Pagan and Proud
One of the most common uses we see of the triangle is a pyramid
The 3 dimensional version of the triangle is the tetrahedron, a solid object contained within a sphere, but one which is pure of form because it contains 4 faces all of which express the trinity.
All have their own uses, but they all stem from the root base of the triangle.

 Siriusly - Supplement [Sacred Geometry]
This squaring of the circle works with a right triangle that represents the apothem(ZY) (a line drawn from the base of the center of one of the sides to top of the pyramid), down to the center of the base (ZE), and out to the point where the apothem touches the Earth (EY).
All of the Sacred Geometry ratios we will be working with, the square roots of two (1.414), three (1.732) and five (2.238), phi (1.618) and pi (3.1416), are all irrational numbers.
The claim is that the smaller circle (in square abcd) is to the larger circle (in square ABCD) as the Moon is to the Earth.

 Trigonometry
An interesting problem of spherical trigonometry is that of finding the area of a spherical cap of either a cone or pyramid, with its apex at the center of the sphere.
Tacitly, we assume that the geometry is a plane geometry (curvature equal to zero).
For each law, we give the spherical (a, b, c are the sides; A, B, C are the angles), its dual for the polar triangle (A. C are the angles; a, b, c are the sides), and the plane (a, b, c are the norms of the sides; A, B, C are the angles) version.

 crop circles and sacred geometry
The earliest known proprietors of sacred geometry were the Egyptians who embedded its secrets in the ground plans of their temples, their frescoes and, most blatantly, in the Gizeh pyramid which single-handedly contains most of the fundamental universal laws that many a tortured schoolchild now attributes to Pythagoras.
Because sacred geometry reflected the universe, its pure forms and dynamic equilibriums shared a higher purpose: the attainment of spiritual wholeness through self-reflection, thereby giving structural insight into the workings of the inner self.
As a mirror of the heavens sacred geometry was liberally applied across the Egyptian landscape for millennia as a way to bestow universal order on Earth, as reflected in their Hermetic maxim 'As Above, So Below'.
