The pyramid is SQUARE BASED and the sides are triangles. Unless you're getting technical, and you're counting a square as a 'special type of rectangle', then the answer is one.
A rectangular pyramid, or a square pyramid, has 5 faces in all.
5 faces. It is the same for a triangular and square pyramid too.
a square pyramid has 5 faces and a rectangular prism has 6
1 rectangular face (the square base) and 4 triangular faces. Justin Dip(Math) Open
In trigonometry, we call it a rectangular pyramid.
a rectangular based pyramid has got 6 edges and four faces and four vertices.
A rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base and four triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex. A square pyramid, on the other hand, has a square base and four triangular faces that meet at a single point. The key difference is in the shape of the base - rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base, while a square pyramid has a square base.

Five.
There are five faces on a square based pyramid.
no, because it is a "square" pyramid so thus forth all sides must be equal.a square pyramid is referred to as a "square-based" pyramid so the sides must be triangular; the basehowever may be square or rectangular, so technically yes, only one of the faces of a square pyramid can be rectangular.
A square-based pyramid has five faces -- the square base and four triangular faces.
