Jul 12, 2019 at 19:45 comment added Moti I would challenge you to find more solutions (there is at least one more) and may be there is a general "square to pyramid" generator on which I am working as a math challenge:)

Jul 12, 2019 at 16:45 comment added hexomino @Moti No additional faces needed. The four faces as cut can be joined together to form a right-angled pyramid exactly as you've described.
Jul 12, 2019 at 16:33 comment added Moti I am seeking a solution where three faces are perpendicular to each other - three edges are along the cartesian axes and 4 faces (I think your solution contains a face that is not a piece of the cut)
Jul 12, 2019 at 16:21 comment added hexomino @Moti The pyramid in our solutions is a right-angled pyramid then. If you consider any of the right-angled triangles as the base, the apex will lie above one of the vertices of the base.
Jul 12, 2019 at 15:00 comment added Moti No. Use this definition: " A right-angled pyramid has its apex above an edge or vertex of the base. In a tetrahedron these qualifiers change based on which face is considered the base" and the requirement is - apes above a vertex.
Jul 12, 2019 at 12:04 comment added Showsni I assume the question means a right pyramid, rather than right angled. A right pyramid has the apex directly above the centre of the base.
Jul 12, 2019 at 8:52 comment added hexomino What's the definition of a right angle pyramid?
