No. The short answer is any number greater than or equal to 4.

A pyramid is a generic term used to describe polyhedra (3-dimension solid objects with polygonal faces) which consist of a polygonal base with n sides (n > 2) and n triangular faces attached to each side of the polygon, which meet at an apex above the base. The pyramid is said to be a right pyramid if the base is a regular polygon and the apex is directly above the middle (centroid) of the base.

A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n sides has n+1 sides and that is the case whether it is a right pyramid or not.
