is tetrahedral and trigonal pyramid the same thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO,Tetrahedral is 5 atoms bonded together with bond angle 109.5 and trigonal pyramidal is 4 - with a lone pair replacing the fifth so it has a bond angle <109.5 due to the lone pair repulsions( lone pair -lone pair repulsion >lone pair -bond pair repulsion>bond pair -bond pair repulsion)
