It looks the same as a normal pyramid, the only difference is the base of the pyramid is square.
yes
Yes, it will then be a tetrahedron.
they both have the same base hope that helped
The base is different. A rect. pyramid has a rectangle as a base. Because the sides are different length for a rectangle, the triangles will not all be congruent (equal). A square pyramid has a square as the base. All sides of the square are the same length, so all the triangular sides of the pyramid will be congruent.

No.
Tetrahedron
yes
No, a square pyramid has a square as a base end the four edges end in the peak. The cube has 8 corners, the square pyramid has 5.
the base is both squares

A pyramid is a solid with a (convex) polygonal base and triangular sides all terminating in the same point. As such the number of "corners" (topologists call them vertexes) is one more than the number of vertexes of the base. A "square pyramid" (such as those famous structures in Giza, Egypt, has five vertexes. A tetrahedron is also a pyramid but one that has only 4 vertexes (the fewest of all the pyramidal shapes). 3
tetrahedron aka triangular pyramid
The base of a tetrahedron has 3 that are of equal length; essentially, it's made up of four equilateral triangles (hence the 'tetra'). A pyramid base has 4 sides of the same length. in fact, There are actually an infinite number of such 'pyramid-like' objects, with different numbers of sides on the base.
