Are the pyramids in Giza triangular based?

The pyramids in Egypt are designed with a square bottom and triangular sides that come together to form... well... pyramids. There are many different styles of pyramids, as we have discovered through observation of each individual monument. The reasons for these changes are still unclear, but we generally have a good idea of why they are shaped the way they are base off of simple observation. For example, the "bent" pyramid is likely the way it is because its base was just too big for the design. Did you know that pyramids are not found only in Egypt? ~Apple Juice


What is the difference between geometric and organic shapes?

Geometric shapes are precise and defined by mathematical properties, such as circles, squares, and triangles, with straight lines and angles. Organic shapes, on the other hand, are irregular and free-form, often found in nature and characterized by flowing, curved lines without specific measurements or angles. Geometric shapes are typically man-made and symmetrical, while organic shapes are asymmetrical and more fluid in appearance.


How many 4-sided plane figures are there?

Here's the role call of the quadrilaterals: # square # rectangle # rhombus # kite # parallelogram, # trapezoid or trapezium (depending on which side of the pond you're from) Certainly we left off the chevron and some other "irregular" shapes, but this list will get you started. A link can be found below for you to review these planar shapes and check their definitions.
