They both have sides....
No. A triangular pyramid describes a triangle whose base is a triangle (not just the sides which define it as a pyramid), whereas a rectangular pyramid is one whose base is a rectangle. A triangle and a rectangle are not the same (a triangle is not a rectangle, and a rectangle is not a triangle), so it would be incorrect to refer to a triangle-based pyramid as a rectangle pyramid.
triangular pyramid
A triangular PYRAMID has a triangular base.
Both are 3D shapes which are pentahedra, comprising triangles and rectangle(s).
Rectangular pyramids and triangular pyramids both have triangular faces.
rectangle triangle there is a difference
a triangular pyramid... i think * * * * * You think wrong! It is a rectangular pyramid.
A triangular pyramid is similar to a triangular prism because:These prisms have triangular bases.They have the sharp vertices on each side.These prisms also have quadrilateral faces or 4-sided faces!
The 3D shape you are describing is a pentagonal pyramid. It has a pentagonal base with five sides, and five vertices where the triangular faces meet. The three rectangle faces are lateral faces that connect the triangular base to the apex of the pyramid. The pentagonal pyramid is a type of pyramid with a polygonal base and triangular faces.
The number of edges of the triangular pyramid is eight but the number of faces is five.* * * * *Even though put in italics, the answer is wrong. It would have been correct for a square or rectangle based pyramid but NOT a triangular pyramid. The latter has 6 edges (and 4 triangular faces).
The shape you are describing is a triangular pyramid. A triangular pyramid has a base that is a triangle and three triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex. The base of the pyramid is a rectangle, which is a quadrilateral with four right angles. The triangular faces of the pyramid connect the vertices of the base to the apex.
A rectangular pyramid.
