What happens to the shape of a pyramid as the number of faces increases?

It depends on whether or not the pyramid base remains convex or if whether some of the additional sides created ridges.
If the base remains convex, sections of the pyramid base will become more like a circle and the sloped surface above that part will become smoother.
It would be wrong to conclude that the pyramid would become more like a cone because it is entirely possible that all the additional sides - possibly infinitely many - are all between two adjacent vertices of the original base polygon. You would then have a base that is a segment of a circle - a third, or a quadrant, etc..

Does a hexagonal pyramid and a heptagonal pyramid have the same number of faces?
yes
What are the number of faces on a triangle pyramid?
5
How is the number of faces of a pyramid related to the number of sides of its base?
it is agains the rules of that pyramid, or the rules of math of its matter.
How find number faces on pyramid?
A pyramid with an n-sided base will have n + 1 vertices, n + 1 faces, and 2n edges.
What is least number of faces for a pyramid?
You need at least 4 faces for a pyramid. That type is known as Tetrahedron (http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedron)
Number of faces on a square pyramid?
Number of faces on a square pyramid is 5.
What is the minimum number of faces a pyramid can have?
The most simple pyramid is a tetrahedron. This pyramid has four faces, all triangles. If the pyramid was a cone then it could have two faces.
What number of faces does a hexagonal pyramid have?
7 faces.
What pyramid has 5 faces 9 edges and 6 vertices?
If the number of vertices is not the same as the number of faces, it cannot be a pyramid.
Number of faces of a pyramid shape?
A pyramid shape, by default, has a square base. It therefore has 5 faces.
Number of faces on a triangular prism?
what is the number faces does a triangular pyramid have
What makes a pyramid a pyramid?
Its shape, the number of faces edges and vertices.
Does a hexagonal pyramid and a heptagonal pyramid have the same number of faces?
yes
How many number of faces do a pentagonal pyramid have?
I believe it have 6 faces
How many face are on a triangular pyramid?
4 faces. The number of faces on a pyramid is one more than the number of sides of the base. A triangle has 3 sides, therefore a triangular pyramid has 3 +1 = 4 faces.
Number of faces in rectangular pyramid?
5
What is the least number of faces that a pyramid can have?
5.
