To describe two non-similar triangular pyramids with similar bases.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Two non-similar triangular pyramids
Concept used:
Two pyramids are similar if their corresponding radii and heights are proportional.
Calculation:
Selecting some random values for one of the bases:
Now, multiply these by a constant
These bases are in the ratio of
Select a value for the height of the first pyramid:
The height of the second pyramid cannot be
Conclusion:
Therefore, these are the two non-similar triangular pyramids with similar bases.
