a pyramid
A polyhedron with a polygon base and triangular sides that all meet at a common vertex is known as a pyramid. The base can be any polygon, such as a triangle, square, or pentagon, and the triangular sides are called lateral faces. The vertex where all the triangular faces converge is referred to as the apex of the pyramid. Each type of pyramid is named based on the shape of its base, such as a triangular pyramid or a square pyramid.
lateral faces
If I am correct I'm sure any pyramid does now if you knew what shape the base is or how many triangle faces I could answer
If the base is a polygon with n sides, the pyramid will have n+1 faces. Triangle base (3 sides) gives 5 faces, Quadrilateral base (4 sides) has 5 faces, etc.
A pyramid consists of several key parts: the base, which can be a polygon (commonly a square or triangle); the apex, which is the top point of the pyramid; and the lateral faces, which are triangular surfaces that connect the apex to each side of the base. Additionally, the height is the perpendicular distance from the apex to the base, and the slant height is the distance from the apex to the midpoint of a base edge. The edges are the line segments where the faces meet.

lateral faces
It is a tetrahedron pyramid that has 4 faces, 6 edges and 4 vertices.
Three or more, as many as the number of sides of the base. Pyramids can have base that are triangles, squares rectangles, or any planar polygon.

All but one face must be triangular. The base can be any polygon, including a triangle.
If the base is a polygon with n sides, the pyramid will have n+1 faces. Triangle base (3 sides) gives 5 faces, Quadrilateral base (4 sides) has 5 faces, etc.

8 lateral faces and a base
They are squares.
Lateral faces are the number of faces excluding the base. Since the square is the base, the other 4 sides will each be touching a lateral face to form a square pyramid (or it wont be a pyramid). So, there are 4.
