Does a pyramid have eight edges?
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.

What shape is a pyramid base?
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.
What two dimensional shapes make up the net afor a pyramid?
A polygon with n sides, and n triangles, where n ≥ 3. Most commonly, the polygon at the base is a triangle or a square. If the base polygon is regular and the pyramid is a right pyramid (ie apex above the centre of the basal polygon), the triangles will be isosceles.
Can a pyramid have different shaped bases?
Pyramids are known with triangular and square bases. In theory, you could build a pyramid using any regular polygon as a base.
Does a pyramid have a square base?
It can, but it doesn't have to. The base can be any polygon, as long as the sides are triangles that come to a point at the top.
