Square Pyramid
A triangular pyramid has 4 triangular sides. A rectangular pyramid has 2 triangular sides and 3 rectangular sides.
A pyramid with a square base, like the great pyramids of Egypt or Mexico. The bottom is square and they have four equal and identical triangular sides. This makes them different from a tetrahedron, a pyramid with a triangular base and three triangular sides.
Square pyramids have a square base and four triangular faces, while triangular pyramids have a triangular base and three triangular faces. The number of sides and the shape of the base are the main distinguishing factors between the two types of pyramids. Additionally, the angles and dimensions of the faces will vary based on the shape of the base in each type of pyramid.
Four triangles (one on the bottom and the 3 sides).

The typical pyramid (such as an Egyptian pyramid) has a square base from which rises four triangular sides which all meet at the top to form a point. A tetrahedral version also exists, in which there are four triangular sides, any of which could be used as a base. That's what a pyramid looks like. Flat bottom, triangular sides, pointy top.
