In a pyramid, all the faces that go from the base to meet at the apex are triangles, one on each side of the base.

For a square base pyramid, there are 4 sides to the base, so there are 4 triangles

Be careful with a triangular based pyramid, there are 3 triangles from the base to the apex, but there is also the triangle of the base itself, so there are 4 triangles in a triangular based pyramid.
