No. It has a triangular base. If it was a square, it'd be a pyramid.

Yes, a square based pyramid is called a tetrahedron.
Triangle In a tetrahedron, all sides are triangles
A tetrahedron is a triangular based pyramid and its area is worked out as for a triangle that is 0.5*base*height.
A tetrahedron looks like a pyramid but instead of having a square base, it has a triangular base.
NO
A square pyramid has 1 more face than a tetrahedron. A tetrahedron has 4 faces (equilateral triangles), while a square pyramid has 5 faces (4 triangles and 1 square base). Therefore, the square pyramid has one additional face compared to the tetrahedron.
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.)
The scientific name for a square base pyramid is a "square pyramid." It is a type of pyramid where the base is a square and the triangular sides meet at a common apex point.
Square is to cube, as triangle is to "triangular pyramid." Pyramid might refer to the common square pyramid, with a square base.
A square is a tetragon whereas a tetrahedron is 4 faced pyramid

Yes, a square based pyramid is called a tetrahedron.
A tetragonal is square shaped whereas a tetrahedron is a triangular based pyramid.
If you mean a tetragon then it is a square whereas a tetrahedron is a triangular based pyramid
