How many vertices does a pyramid have?

Vertices in a PyramidA tetrahedron is the simplest pyramid. It has four vertices and four faces.A pyramid, the same general shape as monumental structures in Egypt, with a square base and four triangular faces meeting at an apex has 5 vertices.However, a pyramid can have any polygon as its base. A pyramid with an n-sided polygon as base would have n+1 vertices.So a twelve sided pyramid would have 13 vertices I think there are 4......* * * * *One more than the number of vertices (corners) on the base. A triangular pyramid has 3+1 = 4 vertices, a rectangular pyramid has 4+1 = 5 and so on.It depends. There are different kinds of pyramids, with different amounts of vertices (the plural for vertex). There are square pyramids, with square bases, triangle pyramids, with triangular bases, hexagon pyramids, octagon pyramids, pentagon pyramids... here are a few answers, though: Square pyramids have five vertices. Triangle pyramids have four. Hexagon pyramids have seven, octagon pyramids have nine, pentagon pyramids have six.6
