Best Answer

It has a four sided square base and four other triangular sides reaching up to an apex.

It is a pentahedron.

If the four triangles are equilateral, it is known as a Johnson solid, and six of the pyramids will fit together to make an exact cube.

If the four triangles are not equilateral, then they are isosceles.
