Pyramid, is a geometric form of many surfaces, one of which is a polygon called the base of the pyramid, and the pyramid resulting from connecting the corners of a quadrilateral or triangular base with a single point called the top, and the monthly shape of the base is the square base.

Another definition: The pyramid is a regular polygon whose base is a regular polygon, whose head is tethered to a point outside the base so that if we take a column from this point it meets with the junction point of the base diameters.

The regular pyramid is a pyramid whose base is a regular polygon and its sides make equal angles with its base.

Calculates the size of the pyramid in mathematics according to the relationship:

Size = Base Area × Height
Where the height is the length of the line projected vertically from the top to the base (or extension).
