truncated pyramid
The formula for the volume of a truncated square pyramid with height h, and top edge a cm and bottom edge b cm is V = 1/3*(a2 + ab + b2)*h.
A truncated pyramid has: faces = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base + 2 vertices = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base x 2 edges = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base x 3
To calculate the surface area of a truncated pyramid, you first take the surface area of each side. That would be the base time the straight height. If it is a 4 side pyramid with equivelant sides, multiply that answer by 4.
A cube, a rectangular solid (box) or any skewed version of these. Even a truncated pyramid (square base, four sides, but top cut off).
It can be.
Assuming that you mean pentagon, not pentagon, the answer is simply that a truncated pyramid has a flat top which can support weight easily whereas a pentagon pyramid would require a very fine balancing act.
pentahedron examples: tetrahedron with one truncated corner, square pyramid
It is a pyramid with a flat base on top.

Not exactly. A frustum would be a pyramid with the apex cut off. A truncated pyramid would be a pyramid with all vertices cut off.

Truncated pyramid.

It is the net of its solid shape. If the top of the pyramid is cut off parallel to the base, then it is a truncated pyramid, or a frustum.
