There are five regular polyhedra, also known as the Platonic solids. They are three-dimensional shapes where all of the faces are made up of the same regular polygon.
They are:
A square pyramid (like the Egyptian pyramids) is not a regular polyhedron, because it has two different types of regular polygons for faces.

A triangular based based pyramid is a TETRAHEDRON. It becomes a regular tetrahedron if the four triangles, that make up its shape, are REGULAR, that is they are all the same size by area and shape; that is they are congruent. The word 'polyhedron' means a solid shape of any number of sides.
Yes.
It is a polyhedron.
No, a sphere is not a polyhedron.A polyhedron is a three-dimensional geometric figure whose sides are polygons.A regular polyhedron is a polyhedron whose faces are all congruent regular polygons.
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.)
