no , pyramids need not have only squares as their base. the base of a pyramid can be any polygon.

no... they do not have right angles connected to the sides
no, the three sides converge at the top. and the bottom does not have an opposite side. Pyramids can be constructed on a square/rectangle base or a triangle base. Faces are parallel or otherwise accordingly
Vertices in a PyramidA tetrahedron is the simplest pyramid. It has four vertices and four faces.A pyramid, the same general shape as monumental structures in Egypt, with a square base and four triangular faces meeting at an apex has 5 vertices.However, a pyramid can have any polygon as its base. A pyramid with an n-sided polygon as base would have n+1 vertices.So a twelve sided pyramid would have 13 vertices I think there are 4......* * * * *One more than the number of vertices (corners) on the base. A triangular pyramid has 3+1 = 4 vertices, a rectangular pyramid has 4+1 = 5 and so on.It depends. There are different kinds of pyramids, with different amounts of vertices (the plural for vertex). There are square pyramids, with square bases, triangle pyramids, with triangular bases, hexagon pyramids, octagon pyramids, pentagon pyramids... here are a few answers, though: Square pyramids have five vertices. Triangle pyramids have four. Hexagon pyramids have seven, octagon pyramids have nine, pentagon pyramids have six.6
Pyramids are a type of polyhedron that has a polygonal base with triangles extending from it to form an apex. The pyramids of Egypt would be examples of square pyramids because the bottom of them are squares. Likewise, you could have a pentagonal pyramid, hexagonal pyramid, pentagrammic pyramid etc.
The 7-letter word for a 3D shape with triangular faces is "pyramid." A pyramid is a polyhedron with a polygonal base and triangular faces that meet at a common vertex called the apex. Pyramids are classified based on the shape of their base, such as square pyramids, triangular pyramids, pentagonal pyramids, etc.
