No. A triangular pyramid describes a triangle whose base is a triangle (not just the sides which define it as a pyramid), whereas a rectangular pyramid is one whose base is a rectangle. A triangle and a rectangle are not the same (a triangle is not a rectangle, and a rectangle is not a triangle), so it would be incorrect to refer to a triangle-based pyramid as a rectangle pyramid.

pyramid An pyramid is a geometric solid of the shape made famous by the royal tombs of ancient Egypt. It is a solid whose base is a polygon and whose lateral faces are triangles with a common vertex
pyramid
Vertex
If by "vertex," you mean "apex," than any pyramid would fit the description.
A regular pyramid has a regular polygon base and a vertex over the center of the base. By:Cherrylvr :)
A rectangle pyramid is a 4 sided pyramid (4 sided in the triangles) with a base of a rectangle. An Egyptian pyramid is a great example of a rectangular pyramid.
pyramid and coneIn the list given, only the cone and pyramid have a vertex.
Yes. This vertex is also known as the apex.
A cross section of a rectangular pyramid through its vertex and perpendicular to its base creates a triangular shape. This triangle's base corresponds to one of the edges of the rectangular base, while its apex is at the vertex of the pyramid. The height of the triangle is determined by the vertical distance from the vertex to the base.
It is a 3-dimensional shape - a polyhedron = whose base is a rectangle and which has four triangular faces attached to its sides. These free vertices of these triangles meet at an apex above the base.
