So, /b/, how many bowling balls are there in this pyramid?

165

Bottom row has 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1. The row above has the same sequence minus the longest row aka 8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1. The row above shorter still and so on.

Adding everything gives you this sequence of 9+2*8+3*7...+8*2+9*1.

Simplifies to 2(9+2*8+3*7+4*6)+5*5

=2(9+16+21+24) + 25

= 2(70) + 25 = 165

about tree fiddy

That would be a square pyramid. This one is clearly triangular.
>>
>>736697285
this is the only right answer. It's a solid pyramid for starts.

Secondly.... if you start by counting the bottom layer.

9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=45
8+7+6+5+4+3=2+1=36
7+6+5+4+3+2+1=28
6+5+4+3+2+1=21
5+4+3+2+1=15
4+3+2+1=10
3+2+1=6
2+1=3
1
45+36+28+21+15+10+6+3+1=165

For any pyramid, the volume is 1/3(B*H) where B is the base area of the pyramid and H is the height. For an equilateral pyramid, B would be calculated as ((sqrt3)/4)*a^2 where a is the length of the sides. If a = 9, then the base area is about 35. Plugging that into the first equation we find that the equilateral pyramid has the volume of 105. Learn to do maths.

The corner of the pyramid is closer to the lens. This is how those lenses work.

Real estate photographers use them to make rooms look huge. The gaps between couches look larger than the couch but when you visit them you can barely fit through.

Its pure barrel distorion.

Ops pyramid is square and this is ancient bait
>>
>>736696860
like 8?
>>
>>736704243
But it's not.

Those are perfect 180 degree angles, for an equilateral triangular base. It's a fucking tetrahedron. If your claim were true there would be distortions on the ground and the balls would appear to be different sizes, when that's clearly not the case.
>>
>>736698470
Physics. The balls are held together by the lip on the base, and the downward force of the weight of the other balls.
>>
To people saying 285, it is a 3 sided pyramid. Not a 4 sided one ya ding dongs.
>>
>>736704669
Don't argue. This is a classic troll thread where people intentionally say it's 4 sided when it is clearly not.
>>
285 balls.

The area of the first triangle is 45, the next is 44, the next is 42, etc subtracting the next row down all the way to 9.
>>
>>736699383
That's wrong. The pyramid is made up of layers of squares.

sum_x=1^9 x^2 = 1^2 + 2^2 + ... + 9^2 = 285
>>
>>736704669
>distortions on the ground

Nah. Only linear features are distorted.


The level of distortion is relative to distance from the lens.

He would be standing at best a couple of feet from the front edge of the pyramid
>>
>>736705246
>clearly

To a smilpleton who doesnt know anything about optics and takes everything at face value

Its square.

No troll.

Nah.

Stay simple anon
>>
Holy shit, the level of education on b i abysmal, none of you got it right, it's 175.
For jeebus sake, it's a simple math problem
each layer can be calculated as this
Xn = x + X n-1 Now calculate the series from 0 to 9.

If it was a triangular base then the 2 balls behind the front corner would be touching at the back.

They arent

Its square, just distorted.

You are all muppets

>>736706398
u will allways find 3 or 4 people who say someting similar. Just a question of how many u ask.
same as if you let a monkey type on the keyboard. the longer he types the more actual words you will find in the salad.

>>736696860
take "n" as the number of balls along the side of the base. The total number of balls is (1/6)[(n^3) +3(n^2) + 2n]

This pyramid has base side lengthof 9
(1/6)[((9)^3) +3((9)^2) + 2(9)] = 165 balls
>>736697627
For the square pyramid. Take "n" as the number of balls along the length of the base. The total number of balls is (1/6)[2(n^3) + 3(n^2) + n].

This square pyramid has base side length of 17
(1/6)[2((17)^3) + 3((17)^2) + (17)] = 1785 balls

Q.E.D.
>>
>>736705365
layers of squares.
special kind of stupid?
>>
>>736710793
Hang on if the first picture is distorted and it actually is a square base then just use the second equation and plug in 9. (Should get 285 balls) That's only if it really is distorted.

You can tell by the angle cut into the boards that it's not a 90° angle, it's more like a triangle. Also, you can draw the rest of the bowling ball that is hidden to reveal they do indeed touch

hard to say because we dont see the bottom im assuming its two more rows .
