5. One for the bottom, 4 for the sides.
The answer is no. A square pyramid can not have all triangle faces because the base of this particular pyramid would be a square.
Depends on the pyramid. A pyramid with a square (or quadrilateral) base would indeed have 8 edges, but a pyramid can have any other polygon as a base.Depends on the pyramid.

If it is a pyramid, then the base shape is a SQURE. If it is a tetrahedron, then the base shape is a triangle.
While it is possible for a pyramid to have a square bases, you should not assume that all pyramids have square bases. Try to picture a triangular pyramid in your head, hopefully you can see that it is possible, and this would answer your question.
A quadrilateral based pyramid, of which a square based pyramid would be a special case.

If you're talking about the shape.. it would have to be square-based pyramid.
If it is a pyramid, then the base shape is a SQURE. If it is a tetrahedron, then the base shape is a triangle.
then you would have a perfect square
a square
A pyramid is named after the base of the pyramid.As not all rectangles are squares, only those rectangles which are (also) squares would make a rectangular pyramid a square pyramid.A rectangle is only a square if it is regular, ie all sides are the same length.So a rectangle 2 x 3 is not a square, and so a pyramid with this base would be a rectangular pyramid.However, a 4 x 4 rectangle is a square, and a pyramid with this base would be a square pyramid.
No. A 3D triangle would be a triangular based pyramid.

square rectangular It can be any polygon shape, depending on how many sides the pyramid has. A four sided pyramid would have a quadrilateral (like a square or a rectangle) base, for instance.

4 triangles and 1 square.
