It isn't a cone at all, technically or otherwise, by definition.
A cone has a circular base; a pyramid, a polygonal one.
In fact I think it's strictly only a pyramid if it has a quadrilateral base - anything else being a "~hedron" where the "~" part describes the number of faces, such as the Tetrahedron (4 triangular faces).

Explain how a pyramid and a cone are alike and different?
a pyramid and a cone are alike because they both have a flat side on the bottom and they can slide. they are different because a pyramid has 5 flat sides on the sides and 1 flat side on the bottom part. a cone can roll but a pyramid can't roll like the cone.
How does a cone differ from a pyramid?
a cone has a round surface and a circle bottom, but a pyramid has 5 squares. * * * * * A pyramid does not have 5 squares! It has a polygonal base with any number of sides. Attached to each of these sides, it has a triangle, and they meet at an apex.
Does a cone and a pyramid have rectangular base?
A cone has a circular base while a pyramid has a square (rectangular) base.
How is a pyramid like a cone?
A cone is a pyramid in its limit - when the base has infinitely many vertices.
A cone is a solid made from a polygonal base a point not in the same plane as the base and all points between them?
No, it is not. The base is not a polygon.
