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.

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.
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.
Is base and sides in a pyramid the same?
No. The sides are always triangular, the base can be a polygon with any number of sides.
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 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 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 a polyhedron with five faces and a square base called?
A polyhedron can have any number of faces 4 or higher.
Find the surface area of the pyramid. The side lengths of the base are equal?
A pyramid is a generic term used to describe a polyhedron with a polygonal base and triangles rising from that base to meet at an apex. The polygonal base can have any number, n, of sides, provided that n>2. There is, therefore, no information about the number of lateral faces in the pyramid. Also, the surface area of a pyramid depends on its height and there is no information whatsoever about its height. It is, therefore, impossible to answer such an underspecified question.
