square base pyramid
A square based pyramid has 4 triangular faces which means it has a total of 5 faces
You did not give the height of the pyramid and 16 cm is not an area, but the area of the face would be one half the face height of the side of the pyramid times the length of the base side.
The only pyramid with a square base that has equilateral faces, is one where the diagonal of the base is exactly twice as long as the pyramid is high.
there is one square face, and then four triangular faces that join at the vertex.
