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.
