One side of a square would be untouched with only 3 triangle faces attached to it. To make an entire closed shape, it would need another part or some 3 dimensional bending would need to take place. A pyramid has 1 square face and 4 triangle faces. A pyramid could also have 4 triangle faces where one triangle substitutes the square face.

What is a shape with 6 faces which have 5 triangular ones?
The only one i can think of is the square - based pyramid, with 4 triangular faces and 1 square
Why are manholes in circles and not in square or rectangle?
They can be any shape ! We have square and rectangular ones in my town (and there's at least a couple of triangular ones too !)
What are the differences between a triangular pyramid and a triangular prism?
A triangular pyramid is a four sided 3D shape. All four sides are triangles. It resembles a 'traditional' pyramid, like the ones in Egypt. A triangular prism is a five sided 3D shape. It consists of two identical triangular sides connected by three identical rectangular sides. think of it as a cylinder with triangles on the ends and three sides instead of a smooth surface.
How many faces and edges does a pyramid?
In math terms, a pyramid could have a square base, triangular base or another shape. The Egyptian pyramids (and Aztec ones) had a square base. So they had 8 edges (for on the base and 4 rising to the top) and 5 faces (4 facing up and the base).
How will you name different prisms and pyramids?
Most of the common ones have already been named, so I will not be naming any. Prisms and pyramids are named according to the 2-dimensional shape of their base(s). For example, triangular prism or square based pyramid.

Are the pyramids of Giza square pyramids?
A pyramid is not a square, but it has a square base formed by four triangular sides. Pyramids like the ones at Giza in Egypt are five-sided geometric shapes (pentahedrons).
Which shape of ice melts quicker?
small square ones melt quickly
What shape are cymbals?
They are commonly round but there are other cymbals that are square and there are evev pentagon shaped ones
Why tires are round in shape?
Because square ones would result in poor gas mileage.
How many faces does a octagon based pyramid have?
A pyramid will have as many triangular faces as the number of sides its base has, plus one in the shape of its base. This means an octagon based pyramid has nine faces (eight triangular ones plus the octagon base).
