| - | A pyramid is the shape formed from a base shape by tapering it to a point in a new dimension. Notice however that by forming a pyramid from a pyramid, the shape formed is symmetrical in the way that the two new dimensions cannot be told apart: the order does not matter. For this reason, the shape formed by forming a pyramid from a pyramid is called a dipyramid, and the shape formed by forming a pyramid from a dipyramid is called a tripyramid, and so on.
