Can a triangular pyramid be called a rectangle pyramid?
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.
How many vertices has a pyramid whose base is a rectangle?
5
What is polyhedron with polygonal base and triangular sides with common vertex?
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
What is 3 dimensional whose base is a polygon and whose other faces are triangles that share a vertex?
pyramid
Is the base of a pyramid opposite the vertex?
Vertex
A regular pyramid has a base and vertex over the center of the base?
A regular pyramid has a regular polygon base and a vertex over the center of the base. By:Cherrylvr :)
What is a 3D shape whose base can be any polygon and whose faces leading up to the vertex are triangles?
If by "vertex," you mean "apex," than any pyramid would fit the description.
Which of the following is made up of one base and a vertex not in the same plane as the base?
pyramid and coneIn the list given, only the cone and pyramid have a vertex.
What is a rectangle pyramid?
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.
Does a circular base pyramid have a vertex?
Yes. This vertex is also known as the apex.
Rectangle based pyramid?
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.
What polyhedron whose base is any polygonal region and all its other faces are triangular regions with a common vertex?
There are an infinite number of such polyhedra. Starting with a tetrahedron (triangular base), the next up is the quadrilateral pyramid (quadrilateral base), then the pentagonal pyramid, the hexagonal pyramid and so on.
