Your welcome Jean. I solid modelled a pyramid in AutoCad and extracted the
dimensions I gave you from the drawings so they should be very close. I
can't totally guanantee them since I haven't actually built the pyramid. I
don't believe you can build a pyramid using triangles with 60 degree angles
(all the same length sides). Try it using cardboard pieces (cereal box
cardboard works well). Good luck.
&nbsp;
A pyramid usually has a square base and sides that are triangular&nbsp;which means two sides must be of equal length.&nbsp; The third side,
which is the base side, &nbsp;does not have to be equal to the others.
