A pyramid like in Egypt or something like that. Or a triangular tent

Egypt
What is a pyramid with 5 sides?
A pyramid with 5 sides is a PYRAMID. First side is the SQUARE base, which you probably don't think about. Sides 2,3,4 & 5 are the four triangular faces. The pyramids of ancient Egypt are of this form. There is NO such thing as a pyramide of four sides. That is a Tetrahedron.
A solid figure with four flat faces?
A pyramid has 4 flat faces, all of which are triangular. Don't confuse this with a square-based pyramid like those in Egypt, as they have 5 faces.
