No. Polyhedra are three-dimensional objects, and the base of any prism, strictly speaking, should be two-dimensional. Any convex polygon (which is two-dimensional) can form the base of a pyramid. A circle, which is technically not a polygon, is the only convex two-dimensional figure that cannot form the base of a pyramid because it forms the base of a cone.
What else can I help you with?
Can a square pyramid slide?
Yes. Any polyhedron can slide.
What do you call a pyramid with a square base?
Square Based PyramidTetrahedron: A tetrahedron is a polyhedron made of 4 triangles. A "regular tetrahedron" is a tetrahedron where the triangles are equilateral. (A polyhedron is any 3 dimentional figure made of flat surfaces and straight lines.)
What is the same and different about a prism and a pyramid?
Well they are different shapes: prism: A solid object that has two identical ends and all flat sides. The cross section is the same all along its length. The shape of the ends give the prism a name, such as "triangular prism" It is also a polyhedron. Pyramid: A solid object where: The base is a polygon (a straight-sided shape) The sides are triangles which meet at the top (the apex). It is a polyhedron. This is a square pyramid, but there are also triangular pyramids, pentagonal pyramids, and so on. Difference: In a pyramid there are 4 faces which are triangular in shape and there is 1 face which is a square which is its base. On the other hand, A prism has 3 rectangular faces and 2 equilateral triangular faces which work as its base. Similarity: Both of them have triangular faces. Actually I don't find any similarity between them, except that and they are polyhedrons. Plus the base of a pyramid alters the name of the pyramid, just like the end of a prism does.
Is a triangular pyramid a regular polyhedron?
A triangular based based pyramid is a TETRAHEDRON. It becomes a regular tetrahedron if the four triangles, that make up its shape, are REGULAR, that is they are all the same size by area and shape; that is they are congruent. The word 'polyhedron' means a solid shape of any number of sides.
Do pyramids always have a square base?
no , pyramids need not have only squares as their base. the base of a pyramid can be any polygon.
Any polyhedron can be the base of a pyramid.?
No. A polyhedron is a three dimensional body. The base of a pyramid is a two dimensional figure.But any non self-intersecting polygon can be the base of a pyramid.
What is the polygons that form a polyhedron?
Any polygon can be the base of a pyramid and so any polygon can form a polyhedron.
Can any polyhedrons can be the base of a pyramid?
No, the base of a pyramid must be a 2-dimensional shape so no polyhedron can be its base.
What is a polyhedron with triangular sides and a polygonal base?
It can be any type of pyramid.
What polygon is connected with the base with the polyhedron?
It could be any polygon.
Why is a pyramid a polyhedron?
A pyramid, as well as any other solid figure bounded by plane polygons or faces, is a polyhedron.
What is a polyhedron in which one face can be any polygon and the lateral faces are triangles that meet at a common vertex?
A pyramid has a polygonal base with all other sides being triangles. As the Egyptians famously demonstrated, a common pyramid has a square base with four triangles meeting at a vertex, but any polygon - regular or irregular - can be used as the base of such a polyhedron.
What is a polyhedron with a polygon base and triangular sides that allmeet at a common vertex?
A polyhedron with a polygon base and triangular sides that all meet at a common vertex is known as a pyramid. The base can be any polygon, such as a triangle, square, or pentagon, and the triangular sides are called lateral faces. The vertex where all the triangular faces converge is referred to as the apex of the pyramid. Each type of pyramid is named based on the shape of its base, such as a triangular pyramid or a square pyramid.
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.
Can a square pyramid slide?
Yes. Any polyhedron can slide.

What is a polyhedron with five faces and a square base called?
A polyhedron can have any number of faces 4 or higher.
