What is a Pyramid?
A pyramid is a polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base and a point, called the apex. Each base edge and apex form a triangle, called a lateral face.

Pro Tips
For a rectangular base, Base Area = L * W.
The perpendicular height is the distance from the apex straight down to the center of the base.
The slant height is used for surface area calculations.
