The Transamerica, the Shard, and the Ryugyong are considered pyramids?
Is there a common definition those buildings fullfill? Or are they on the graph for scale?
- Someone 10y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid: "A pyramid (from Greek: πυραμίς pyramis)[1][2] is a structure whose outer surfaces are triangular and converge to a single point at the top, making the shape roughly a pyramid in the geometric sense. The base of a pyramid can be trilateral, quadrilateral, or any polygon shape" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_(geometry) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_(geometry): "In geometry, a pyramid is a polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base and a point, called the apex. [...] When unspecified, a pyramid is _usually_ assumed to be a regular square pyramid" Note the _usually_.
