Pyramids are structures with triangular surfaces that converge into a point. The base of a pyramid is typically three- or four-sided, but all pyramids have trilateral sides — isosceles or equilateral.

This unpainted wooden model of a square pyramid has a square base and four equilateral triangles on the sides. It divides into four equal pyramids along the edges. There are no labels.
