The difference in a triangular and rectangular pyramid only has to do with the base of the pyramid, which in turn decide how many sides the pyramid will have.
A triangular pyramid has a base shaped like a triangle, which ends up having a total of 4 sides (including the base itself).
A rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base, which ends up having a total of 5 sides (including the base itself).
