Bipyramid
A
bipyramid is a
polyhedron
formed by joining two identical pyramids base-to-base. The bipyramids are the
dual polyhedra of the prisms. Three bipyramids can be made out of all regular
triangles, the
octahedron
(square bipyramid), which counts among the Platonic solids, and the triangular
and pentagonal bipyramids, which count among the Johnson solids.
