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.

What is square pyramid?
A square pyramid is a pyramid whose base is in the shape of a square.
What is the formula to find the area of a pyramid?
first you find the area of the base and then you find the area one side of the pyramid an you time it with 3 if it is a triangular pyramid or 4 if it is a square pyramid
What is the difference between a square pyramid and a triangle pyramid?
A square pyramid has the base of a square,and sides of a triangle. While a triangle pyramid has the base and sides of a triangle.
Definition of square pyramid?
A four sided pyramid with a square base.
What is the difference between a rectangular pyramid and a square pyramid?
A rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base and four triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex. A square pyramid, on the other hand, has a square base and four triangular faces that meet at a single point. The key difference is in the shape of the base - rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base, while a square pyramid has a square base.
