Answer:

Earth would quickly disintegrate into a scorching sphere.

A triangular shape could not be sustained due to gravity. no pyramid either. either square.

Spherical. Things slant toward the center due to gravity. The tips of a triangle or pyramid would be closest to the flat sides and farther from the center of the population.

Due to the impact of the material violently falling toward its rest, it would be heated.
