While I wouldn't think that the tri force is directly derived from the pyramids, I think some of the same things that informed the pyramids also informed the tri force.
For instance, the shear size of the pyramids has made the shape a symbol of power: the power that the pharohs held (mostly economic in the case of the pyramids) is shown by the pyramids. The pyramids at Giza also correspond to the positions of the stars in the constellation Orion's belt. Actually this is only a theory, but it's the best one out there.
So while I don't think that the tri force is taken directly from the pyramids I think they have similar origins based in mythology and symbolism.
