It would be a rectangle when you look from the top.
A rectangular pyramid is a pyramid with a rectangular base. Thus, a top-down view of such an object would simply be a rectangle with two diagonal lines connecting opposite vertices.
The shape is 3 dimensional, the top down view is 2 dimensional.
The difference is 90 degrees.The side view looks like a triangle.The top view looks like a rectangle with its diagonals.
Unlike a tetrahedron (a four-faced shape with all triangular faces), a pyramid has a square (or rhomboid) base and triangular sides. Thus, a view from any side will yield a triangular appearance, while a view from below or above shows a square or rectangular shape.
The top-down view of a rectangular pyramid resembles a rectangle, which represents the base of the pyramid. From this perspective, the apex of the pyramid is not visible, and only the outline of the base is seen. The corners of the rectangle correspond to the vertices of the base, with the edges connecting them. Overall, it gives a clear view of the pyramid's base shape without any indication of its height or slanting sides.
The side view of a rectangular pyramid is a triangle.

the top down view is the full (whole) thing. It's the biggest part of the shape.
The side elevation is a triangle.
Both views are of a rectangle. One of the sides will be of the same size but he other dimensions can be different.
Unlike a tetrahedron (a four-faced shape with all triangular faces), a pyramid has a square (or rhomboid) base and triangular sides. Thus, a view from any side will yield a triangular appearance, while a view from below or above shows a square or rectangular shape.
