To make a triangular-based pyramid, you would need a total of 6 straws. This includes 3 straws for the triangular base and 3 additional straws connecting each vertex of the base to the apex of the pyramid. The straws form the edges of the pyramid, creating its structure.
No, it has five plus the bottom :D * * * * * The previous answer is incorrect: a pyramid with 5 faces plus the bottom would be a pentagon based pyramid! A triangular based pyramid, or tetrahedron, DOES have 4 triangular faces.
If the base of the pyramid is a triangle then all its faces would be triangular in shape.
I would think so, why not
A triangular based pyramid would fit the given description
depends on the dimensions of the 4 sides
6 straws are needed
A triangular based pyramid would have 4 corners; three for the triangular base and one for the peak. A pyramid has twice as many edges as sides in its base; thus a triangular pyramid has 2 × 3 = 6 edges. A triangular based pyramid is called a tetrahedron.

To create a triangular prism using straws, you would need a minimum of 6 straws. This is because a triangular prism has two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. Each triangular face would require 3 straws, and each rectangular face would require 2 straws. Therefore, the total number of straws needed would be 2 (for the triangular faces) + 3 (for the rectangular faces) = 6 straws.
No. A 3D triangle would be a triangular based pyramid.
9 straws because it has 9 edges, 6 vertices and 5 faces

Pyramid, but to be exact it would be a Triangular Pyramid ;) * * * * * To be exact ... but WRONG! A triangular pyramid has 4 faces and 4 vertices! A shape with 5 faces and vertices is a quadrilateral based pyramid - of which a special case would be a square based pyramid.
The number of edges of the triangular pyramid is eight but the number of faces is five.* * * * *Even though put in italics, the answer is wrong. It would have been correct for a square or rectangle based pyramid but NOT a triangular pyramid. The latter has 6 edges (and 4 triangular faces).
