It is a polyhedron: a 3-dimensional object with polygonal faces. It has one base that is a polygon with n sides. From each side there is a triangular face and these meet at a single point above (or below) the base.

It can also be identified by its Euler characteristic:

If the polygonal base is n-sided, the pyramid has

n+1 vertices, n+1 faces and 2n edges.

How do you solve the volume of a pyramid?

# Square Pyramid:#* Identify the length and width of the base. Write your measurements down. #* Calculate the area of the base. This is done by multiplying the width by the height. Write the answer down. #* Multiply the area of the base by the height. Write this answer down, too. #* Multiply the previous answer by one third, or divide by 3. This will give you the final answer. # Triangular Pyramid:#* Identify the length and width of the base. Write the measurements down. #* Calculate the area of the base.Multiply the length by the width, then multiply by one half (or divide by 2). This is the area. Write the answer down. #* Multiply the area of the base by the height of the pyramid.#* Multiply your answer by one third, or divide by 3. This will give you the volume.Source: WikiHow
