dickkotite Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 out of 2 dimensional hexigons? im serious its for school. i dont know if the teacher made a mistake in the question but im stumped cmon, its your time to shine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gg Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 OY DK. i am hoping the teacher made a mistake because i have been trying to figure it out for 20 minutes now and i can't. of course i HATE geometry and i don't have any of my shapes with me... I will keep thinking. Let me know if you figure it out because now it is going to bug me until i know the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomShane Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 The answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gg Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Ok..this is what else i thought of...i suspect that somthing might be wrong with the question...it has something to do with Euler's formula... There is no pyramid with hexagonal base since 6 equilateral triangles attached to the sides of a hexagon when brought together at a vertex will lie in a plane. In fact, any n-gon based pyramid with n≥6 does not exist. This can be further explained by Euler's formula which states that every convex regular polyhedron has a vertex of valency at most five. Suppose there exist a pyramid of n-gon base where n≥6, the apex of that pyramid will have valency more than 6 which violates the Euler's formula. Hence, there only exist pyramids of n-gon base, where n less than 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
