A quadrahedron has 5 faces. One face (the base) is four sided. The remaining 4 faces are triangular. It is commonly envisioned as a four sided pyramid. A tetrahedron has 4 faces, all triangular. It is commonly envisioned as a three sided pyramid.

Using "quadrahedron" to designate a 5-sided polyhedron is a misnomer, and commonly used wrongly.

The Greek prefix "quad" means 'four". A quadruped has four legs.

A pyramid having four sides and a base is a pentahedron, because it has five sides. The 'base" is a side, and "base" is an arbitrary designation.

A tetrahedron is a quadrahedron.

Technically, -- the Great pyramid has 8 faces(sides) on the surface, and one face downward; making it a 9 sided polygon, or a 9-agon called enneagon pronounced, a nonagon. The number 108 has a significant meaning; perhaps, it could be applied here.

Also, I need to add: a tetrahedron is NOT synonymous with a quadrahedron; despite what Google says!

For example!!!: look up every other type of -polygon; pentahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, etc. Google purposely omits it... why? Nevertheless, they are wrong for doing it.
