minus-squarekryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoYes, it is possible with a 3-sided pyramid, i.e. tetrahedron. If we dont look at all 4 points as being on the same plane but 2 opposite corners being offset above or below the other two, this could totally be a tatrahedron.

minus-squarebss03@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agoWe do know that, with those measurements, they aren’t confined to a single (Euclidean) plane.
minus-squareLovable Sidekick@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 month agoExactly! I regret that I have but one upvote to give.
minus-squareMistic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoI was thinking of plane surfaces, but if their altitudes are different, I guess it’d be possible.
Pyramid?
