Depending on the type of pyramid, it varies. Most pyramid types (including square, rectangle, octagonal, etc. pyramids) do not have congruent bases and faces, though some may have a few similar faces. Only one pyramid, the triangular pyramid, has a triangle for the base and all of the faces, which are congruent.

How many bases and faces does a triangular pyramid have?
Bases and faces are the same, so a triangular prism will have 6 faces/bases.
What is the same about a prism and a pyramid?
The number of faces determines the bases' shape.
What is the face of a prism or pyramid that is not the base?
Lateral Face - In a prism, the faces that are not bases. In a pyramid, faces that intersect at the vertex.
What is the sum of the faces an bases of an octagonal pyramid?
one base nine faces
How many bases does a rectangular pyramid have?
A rectangular pyramid has 5 bases. The base of a pyramid is the polygon upon which the pyramid stands, and in the case of a rectangular pyramid, there are four triangular faces that meet at a single rectangular base. So, the total number of bases in a rectangular pyramid is 1 (rectangular base) + 4 (triangular faces) = 5 bases.
How many sides faces and vertex does a pyramid has?
A pyramid is a generic term. There are pyramids with triangular bases, square or rectangular or quadrilateral bases, pentagonal base and so on. A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n sides has n+1 sides (which are the same thing as faces), and n+1 vertices.
What shape are all the faces of a triangular pyramid?
trianglesbecause TRIangular prism pyramid means that TRIangles are the bases, which also mean the faces.
How many faces have a rectangular pyramid?
5 faces. It is the same for a triangular and square pyramid too.
How is a triangular prism different from a triangular pyramid?
A prism has 2 bases and a pyramid has 5 faces
Are faces and bases the same on 3 dimensional shapes?
Bases are faces but faces are not necessarily bases.
What are the bases of a triangular pyramid?
Any one of the four triangular faces.
Does a pyramid have at least two congruent parallel bases?
Not true. They have only one base and several (3 or more) lateral triangular faces. A pyramid has a single vertex over a base - there are no parallel faces in any pyramid.
