Each of them has four triangular faces.
A pyramid has a triangle for each side of the base, thus for a square pyramid you'll need one square (for the base) and 4 triangles.
A square pyramid is one that has a square base. This means there are four triangles, one triangle on each side of the square base.
Ah, let's paint a happy little picture with shapes! A triangular prism has 9 edges, 5 faces, and 6 vertices, while a square pyramid has 8 edges, 5 faces, and 5 vertices. Each shape is unique and beautiful in its own way, just like you are unique and special in this world.
A pyramid is constructed from a square base (having four corners) and four triangles, rising from each side of the square with their tips meeting at one point. These five two-dimensional shapes form the faces of the three-dimensional shape of the pyramid, that therefore has five vertices (at the four corners of the square and at the point where the triangles meet).
Each of them has four triangular faces.
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.
In a square- based pyramid there are 5 facesThere are five faces: The square base, and the four triangles from each side of the square to the top (or bottom) vertex.
5- each of the sides and the base.
A pyramid has a triangle for each side of the base, thus for a square pyramid you'll need one square (for the base) and 4 triangles.
All except the base are always triangles; the shape of the base gives the name to the pyramid; eg a pentagonal pyramid has a pentagon as the base and five triangular faces; a triangular pyramid has three triangular faces and also has a triangle for the base.

A square pyramid is one that has a square base. This means there are four triangles, one triangle on each side of the square base.

A pyramid with a square base is called a pentahedron. This is because it is a solid figure that has five faces, and each one of its faces can be turned by 120 degrees.
A square pyramid has five faces. The base of the pyramid is a square, which is one face. The other four faces are triangular and meet at the apex of the pyramid. Each triangular face is formed by connecting one vertex of the square base to the apex of the pyramid.
A hexagonal prism has hexagons at each end whereas a hexagonal pyramid has a hexagonal base and an apex. The numbers of faces, shapes of the faces, numbers of edges and vertices are all different.
