The cubic pyramid is a CRF polychoron among Klitzing's list of segmentochora (K4.26). It is bounded by its cubical base and 6 square pyramidal sides.

Dichoral angles

  • Between cube and square pyramid: 45° (exact)
  • Between two adjacent square pyramids: 180° - acos(1/3) ≈ 109.4712206345°

Equations

  • Variables:
l ⇒ length of edges of the cubic pyramid
total edge length = 20l
total surface area = (6 + 3√3) · l2
surcell volume = (1 + √2) · l3
bulk = 18 · l4
[!x,!y,!z] ⇒ square pyramid
[!w] ⇒ cube

Net

The net of a cubic pyramid is a cube surrounded by six square pyramids.

Coordinates

The coordinates of a cubic pyramid with side 2 are:

(±1, ±1, ±1, 0)
(0, 0, 0, 1)

Incidence matrix

Dual: octahedral pyramid
