A pyramid is a generic term used to describe a polyhedron with a polygonal base and a number of triangles rising from that base to meet at an apex. A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n-sides (or vertices) has n+1 faces, n+1 vertices and 2n edges, where n ≥ 3.

What is a 3 d shape with 5 sides?
A square pyramid. One base, and 4 sides.
How many sides does a pentahedron have?
Five faces (it is a 3 dimensional shape). A four sided pyramid is a pentahedron. (penta- means five, -hedron means sides)
What do you call a 3D shape with 5 sides?
I would say a square-based pyramid but there are many 3 dimensional shapes with 5 sides.* * * * *The generic name is a pentahedron.
How many sides will a shape with 3 vertices have?
3 sides
How many equal side does a pyramid have?
A pyramid does not need to have any equal sides. A REGULAR pyramid has as many equal sides as the number of sides on the base. So, a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) will have 3 equal faces, a square based pyramid will have 4, etc.
What 3 dimensional shape has 5 sides?
a pyramid
Name a 3 d shape with 4 sides?
A pyramid.
What is a 3 d shape with 5 sides?
A square pyramid. One base, and 4 sides.
How many faces do a pyramid have?
A pyramid has 3 or 4 sides.
How many sides does a pentahedron have?
Five faces (it is a 3 dimensional shape). A four sided pyramid is a pentahedron. (penta- means five, -hedron means sides)
What does base number of sides mean?
The base being the bottom of a shape. A pyramid with a square base has 4 sides. A pyramid with a triangular base has 3 sides.

How many sides will a shape with 3 vertices have?
3 sides
How many equal side does a pyramid have?
A pyramid does not need to have any equal sides. A REGULAR pyramid has as many equal sides as the number of sides on the base. So, a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) will have 3 equal faces, a square based pyramid will have 4, etc.
How many surfaces in a pyramid?
Four, 3 sides and a base.* * * * *A pyramid, in mathematical terms is a 3D shape with a polygonal base (with n sides) and n triangles that meet at an apex. This gives n+1 surfaces in all. n can be 3 or more.5 flat surfaces
Is a pyramid shape a prism?
No, infact a pyramid is inside its own group! There are square based pyramids with four sides and triangular based pyramids with 3 sides, each leading to a pointed top.
What 3 d shape has 4 sides?
a parrollellogram * * * * * No, a parrollollogram - or even a parallelogram - is not a 3d shape! The correct answer is a tetrahedron or a triangle based pyramid.
