Yes, pyramids have flat faces. Each side of a pyramid, known as a face, is typically a triangle, except for the base, which can be a polygon (like a square in the case of a square pyramid). The flat triangular faces converge at a single point called the apex. This geometric structure gives pyramids their distinctive shape.
Pyramids that do not have parallel faces are known as irregular or non-regular pyramids. Unlike regular pyramids, where the base is a regular polygon and the triangular faces are congruent, irregular pyramids can have bases of varying shapes and sizes, leading to non-parallel faces. An example of this is a pyramid with a base that is a scalene triangle, where the triangular faces can differ in size and shape.
No.
triangle... because pyramids are triangular therefore triangular pyramids have triangle faces
Not all polyhedrons are prisms or pyramids. A polyhedron is defined as a three-dimensional shape with flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and vertices. While prisms have two parallel faces (bases) connected by rectangular lateral faces, and pyramids have a base and triangular faces that converge at a point, there are other types of polyhedrons, such as irregular polyhedra, that do not fit these definitions. Examples include shapes like the truncated tetrahedron or the dodecahedron, which do not qualify as either prisms or pyramids.
No. A triangle is a two-dimensional polygon (flat figure). It has sides that consist of three line segments, with an interior area. Only a three-dimensional form (polyhedron) can have faces. Triangles serve as faces for any number of polyhedrons, such as pyramids.
Yes, pyramids are considered polyhedrons because they are three-dimensional geometric shapes with flat polygonal faces. A pyramid has a polygonal base and triangular faces that converge at a single point called the apex. The number of triangular faces corresponds to the number of sides on the base polygon, making pyramids a specific type of polyhedron.
Triangular pyramids have 4 faces(3 and a base) Traditional pyramids have 5 faces( 4 and a base)

No, there are many different types of pyramids. To give a real-life comparison, the Egyptian pyramids are square pyramids, and have 5 faces. Triangular pyramids have 4 faces. (Count the base as one face) A pentagonal pyramid would have 6 faces. (Five on each side, plus the base) A hexagonal pyramid would have 7 faces, etc. (One for each side base + the base's face)
Pentagonal pyramids have six faces, ten edges, and six vertices. One of the faces is a pentagonal base, the rest are triangular.
It has 5 flat faces because there are 4 flat faces at the top and 1 flat face at the bottom.
Yes... Cubes have 6 flat faces.
No, but the faces of a polyhendron are all flat.
