they are both types of pyramids
They're both triangular pyramids, and all of them have a base, multiple faces, and at one end the faces come to a point.

They are NOT both triangular pyramids!
both have lateral face shapes that are riangles
square pyramid
A triangular pyramid has a triangular base and three triangular faces meeting at its apex. A square pyramid has a square base and four triangular faces meeting at its apex.
Neither a triangular nor a rectangular pyramid has a square base. A square pyramid has a square base.
A square pyramid has 1 more vertex than a triangular pyramid. A square pyramid has 5 vertices, and a triangular pyramid has 4 vertices.
Square Pyramid has a square base and 4 triangular sides. Triangular Pyramid has a triangle base and 3 triangular sides.
Square pyramid : 5 vertices. Triangular pyramid : 4 vertices.
A pyramid which we normally call a triangular- based pyramid has 4 triangular phases (including the base, so that means the base of a normal pyramid is triangular) but a a square pyramid has a square phase to its base and the other 4 phases are triangular. so that can be identified as the difference between a pyramid and a square pyramid.
The base of a triangular prism is a triangle and the base of a square pyramid is a square.
how many more vertices does a square pyramid have that triangular pyramid
Rectangular pyramids and triangular pyramids both have triangular faces.
Each of them has four triangular faces.
