number of spheres in the pyramid is n(n+1)(2n+1)/6. To find the height of the pyramidal stack in terms of n and d, first imagine a square pyramid made from five balls--four balls on the bottom and one ball at the top. The centers of these spheres form a square pyramid with an edge length of d and a height of d1/2. The total height of stack of spheres is d + d1/2. Each time you add a layer of balls to the bottom of the pyramid, the height increases by d1/2. Thus, for a square pyramidal formation with an edge length of n balls and a ball diameter of d, the height is d + d(n-1)1/2. The square that contains the base has a length of dn.
