It has a four sided square base and four other triangular sides reaching up to an apex.
It is a pentahedron.
If the four triangles are equilateral, it is known as a Johnson solid, and six of the pyramids will fit together to make an exact cube.
If the four triangles are not equilateral, then they are isosceles.

A quadrilateral based pyramid, of which a square based pyramid would be a special case.
If the base of the pyramid is square, it must have four triangular vertical faces in order to meet at the apex (top). Such a 3D shape is a "square pyramid".

A square based pyramid has 5 corners - 4 for the square and 1 for the top of the pyramid.

A square based pyramid is called a square pyramid
The pyramid is SQUARE BASED and the sides are triangles. Unless you're getting technical, and you're counting a square as a 'special type of rectangle', then the answer is one.
a square based pyramid is a square at the bottom and a pyramid at the top
A quadrilateral based pyramid - of which a square based pyramid is a special case.
It is a polyhedron with the smallest possible number of faces or vertices.
If the base of the pyramid is square, it must have four triangular vertical faces in order to meet at the apex (top). Such a 3D shape is a "square pyramid".
