What shapes go in the category of irregular polyhedra?

A polyhedron is a plane shape, enclosing a single space, which is bounded by straight lines.If ALL angles and ALL sides are equal, then it is a regular polyhedron. All other polyhedra are irregular.Note that if any of the sides is not straight then the shape is not a polyhedron at all, and so cannot be an irregular polyhedron.A polyhedron is a plane shape, enclosing a single space, which is bounded by straight lines.If ALL angles and ALL sides are equal, then it is a regular polyhedron.

Is a rectangular pyramid is a polyhedron?

Yes. A polyhedron is a geometric shape with flat surfaces and straight edges, so a a pyramid with a rectangular base qualifies as a polyhedron. It is however not a regular polyhedron, which would require all the faces to be the same shape and size. To change your pyramid to a regular polyhedron you'd have to turn it into a tetrahedron.
