pyramid: A polyhedron with one face (base) that is a polygon whose other faces (lateral faces) are triangles formed by segments (lateral edges) that connect the vertices of the base to a point (vertex) not on the base The altitude of a pyramid is the perpendicular segment from the vertex to the plane of the base, and the height of a pyramid is the length of the altitude

pyramid: To use, or to deal in, in a pyramiding transaction
pyramid: A pyramid combines both up and down the rack schemes in a given exercise each set of reps is performed with increasing and then decreasing weight If you were to graph the weight, it would have a triangular or pyramid curve

pyramid: a huge building with four sloping outside walls shaped like a triangle: in Egypt they were used as royal tombs
pyramid: A polyhedron with one face (base) that is a polygon and whose other faces (lateral faces) are triangles formed by segments (lateral edges) that connect the vertices of the base to a point (vertex) not on the base The altitude of a pyramid is the perpendicular segment from the vertex to the plane of the base, and the height of a pyramid is the length of the altitude (Lesson 11 1)
pyramid: The game of pool in which the balls are placed in the form of a triangle at spot
pyramid: Point V is its vertex; the pentagon ABCDE is its base The five triangular faces meeting at V are lateral faces; they intersect in segments called lateral edges The segment from the vertex perpendicular to the base is the altitude, and its length is the height, h, of the pyramid In a regular pyramid, the base is a regular polygon, all lateral edges are congruent, all lateral faces are congruent isosceles triangles, and the altitude meets the base at its center The height of a lateral face is the slant height of the pyramid
pyramid: {i} geometric figure with a polygonal base and sides which are isosceles triangles; structure in which ancient Egyptians buried their kings
pyramid: A pyramid is a polyhedron with a face of any shape as its base, and triangles attached to each side, meeting at the same vertex, called the apex
pyramid: structure with a square base and four sloping, triangular sides meeting at a peak; used as a tomb for royalty during the Old and Middle Kingdoms and for non-royalty during the New Kingdom

pyramid: A waypoint used by Janet pilot enroute from Las Vegas to Groom Lake, heard on aviation frequencies One theory is that "pyramid" is a light-colored hill somewhere between Indian Springs and Groom Lake Such a hill is visible from Mt Sterling It is indistinct on maps, but because of its light color it is distinct to pilots
pyramid: You can describe something as a pyramid when it is organized so that there are fewer people at each level as you go towards the top. Traditionally, the Brahmins, or the priestly class, are set at the top of the social pyramid. Ancient monumental structure constructed of or faced with stone or brick and having a rectangular base and four sloping triangular sides meeting at an apex. Pyramids have been built at various times and places; the best-known are those of Egypt and of Central and South America. The pyramids of ancient Egypt were royal tombs. Each contained an inner sepulchral chamber that housed the deceased (usually mummified) ruler, members of his entourage, and artifacts. The rest of the pyramid complex consisted of a large enclosure, an adjacent mortuary temple, and a causeway leading down to a pavilion. About 80 royal pyramids survive in Egypt, the greatest being those at Giza. American pyramids include the pyramids of the Sun and Moon at Teotihuacán, the Castillo at Chichén Itzá, and various Inca and Chimú structures in Andean settlements. These pyramids were generally built of earth and faced with stone; they are typically stepped pyramids and are topped by a platform or temple structure used for rituals, including human sacrifice
