Pyramid 2
Create a pyramid from the base below.
Create a pyramid from the base below. To find the centre
point of the shape you need to draw lines between each vertex
and the centre of the opposing side. One line has already
been drawn below, if you draw two others you should be able
locate the middle and hence draw a height line.
