Best Answer

no, because it is a "square" pyramid so thus forth all sides must be equal.

a square pyramid is referred to as a "square-based" pyramid so the sides must be triangular; the basehowever may be square or rectangular, so technically yes, only one of the faces of a square pyramid can be rectangular.

Why arn't all rectangular pyramids square pyramids?

A pyramid is named after the base of the pyramid.As not all rectangles are squares, only those rectangles which are (also) squares would make a rectangular pyramid a square pyramid.A rectangle is only a square if it is regular, ie all sides are the same length.So a rectangle 2 x 3 is not a square, and so a pyramid with this base would be a rectangular pyramid.However, a 4 x 4 rectangle is a square, and a pyramid with this base would be a square pyramid.
