An oblique pyramid is either one whose base is not a regular polygon or one whose apex is not vertically above the centre of its base.

If we're talking in purely geometric terms: If the edges of a prism/cylinder make a right angle with the base, it is called a right prism/cylinder. If not, it is an oblique prism/cylinder...it will look as if it were slanting to one side instead of standing straight. Similarly, if the top vertex of a pyramid/cone is directly above the center of the base, it is a right pyramid/cone. Otherwise, it is an oblique pyramid/cone. Again, it will look a bit askew.
The number of bases they do not have in common. A pyramid has one base, but a prism has two bases.
The answer depends on the what characteristic of the pyramid you want the formula for: its surface area, its volume or something else.
An oblique pyramid is a pyramid that does not have its apex aligned with the center of its base. In other words, the pyramid leans more towards one side
A graphic of an oblique pyramid can't be shown on Answers.com, due to formatting restrictions. But, imagine if you could move the very top of the Great Pyramid of Gaza, and move it towards the rear, so the top is no longer exactly above the centre of the base, that is an oblique pyramid. There are many pictures of oblique pyramids available on the internet.

If it is a pyramid the apex has to be in the middle of the base.... for it to be right If it is not then its is oblique

There is a chain of command shaped like a pyramid
