A pyramid is a generic term. It has a polygonal base with n sides and n triangular faces meeting at an apex.

So a triangle based pyramid (tetrahedron) has 4 faces and 4 corners.

A quadrilateral based pyramid has 5 faces and 5 corners.

In general, a pyramid with a n-sided polygon as base has n+1 sides and n+1 corners.
