the answer is that, if you look at the base and count the edges that's how much more faces there would be on the pyramid. Example, if i have a hexagonal - based pyramid, a hexagon has 6 sides so the faces in the middle of the solid are six also so a hexagonal-based pyramid will have 12 faces. :)
The shape of the base of a pyramid directly determines the number of triangular faces it has. Specifically, if the base is a polygon with ( n ) sides, the pyramid will have ( n ) triangular faces that connect each vertex of the base to the apex (top point) of the pyramid. Additionally, the pyramid itself counts as one more face, which is the base. Therefore, the total number of faces on the pyramid is ( n + 1 ).
The number of vertices does not determine the number of faces. If the shape with 6 vertices was a quadrilateral based bipyramid, it would have 8 faces. A hexagonal based pyramid has 7 vertices and 7 faces. So more vertices does not necessarily imply more faces.
A pyramid has the same number of faces as vertices. A triangular pyramid has 4. A rectangular pyramid has 5. Check into Euler's Theorems.

A pyramid!
A pyramid shape, by default, has a square base. It therefore has 5 faces.

The number of faces determines the bases' shape.

Triangular Pyramid......... The faces are Triangular....
A shape that has some triangular faces is a pyramid.
Pyramid
A pyramid has a variable number of triangular faces. The base of a triangle can be practically any regular shape, starting with a triangle. Technically a pyramid can have four or more triangles as faces.
