A square pyramid is a pyramid with a square base. It has 4 outer faces, all of which are triangles, that meet at the same point perpendicular to the centre of the base.
All pyramids have at least 4 faces (including the base), where the outer faces are all triangular while the base can be trilateral, quadrilateral, or any other polygon. The quadrilateral form (the square pyramid) is the most common form of pyramid, and is the form associated with the Egyptian pyramids.
