Geometry
A square dipyramid is a special case of the tetrapyramid where the base is a square pyramid. It is also a special case of the dipyramid where the base is a square.
The square dipyramid is interesting because the numbers of elements it has (6, 13, 13, 6) are symmetrical, however, since the shape is not regular it cannot have a dual. If duals were defined for irregular shapes, this shape may be a self-dual(?).
Equations
- Variables:
l ⇒ length of each line in the square dipyramid
- The hypervolumes of a square dipyramid are given by:
total edge length = 13l
total surface area = l2(1 + 6√3)
surcell volume = l23-1√3 + l33-1√2
bulk = Unknown
- The realmic cross-sections (n) of a square dipyramid are:
[!x,!y] ⇒ triangular prism
[!z,!w] ⇒ square pyramid
Net
The net of a square dipyramid is two square based pyramids attached at their bases with four tetrahedrons each attached to another face of one of the square based pyramids.
