Yes. A polyhedron is a geometric shape with flat surfaces and straight edges, so a a pyramid with a rectangular base qualifies as a polyhedron.

It is however not a regular polyhedron, which would require all the faces to be the same shape and size. To change your pyramid to a regular polyhedron you'd have to turn it into a tetrahedron.

What is the difference between a pyramid and rectanguler prism?

A rectangular prism is a polyhedron bounded by six rectangular faces. A pyramid is a generic term used to describe a polyhedron with a polygonal base and a number of triangles rising from that base to meet at an apex. A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n-sides (or vertices) has n+1 faces, n+1 vertices and 2n edges, where n ≥ 3.


What are three different geometric solids that have at least one rectangular face?

A polyhedron of 5 or more sides can always be found that has a rectangular face. So three shapes are:a pentahedron (rectangle based pyramid),a hexahedron (cuboid),a heptahedron (pentagonal pyramid).
