The base of square pyramid is a square, as you may have guessed. If you measure one side of the square base, you'll have discovered the length of a side of the base. A side squared (a side times a side) will give you the area of the base of a square pyramid. If you have the area of the base, you can find the length of a side of the base by finding the square root of the area of the base.
In the case of a square pyramid, if you are given the length of a side and either a vertex angle or the angle between the base and a side, you'll have an isosceles triangle to deal with. (There are four isosceles triangles that make up the faces of the square pyramid, as you probably figured out.) This involves a bit of trigonometry, and there are some other questions here that will help you figure that out.

How do you find the perpendicular height of a square based pyramid?
To find the perpendicular height of a square pyramid, first compute for the volume of the pyramid. Then divide the volume by the area of the base to find pyramid's height.
How do you find the base of a square pyramid when you only have the volume and height?
The base of a square pyramid is the only face that is a square - all the others are triangular in shape. So you do not need any measurements to determine which is the base.
