The difference is 90 degrees.
The side view looks like a triangle.
The top view looks like a rectangle with its diagonals.
Unlike a tetrahedron (a four-faced shape with all triangular faces), a pyramid has a square (or rhomboid) base and triangular sides. Thus, a view from any side will yield a triangular appearance, while a view from below or above shows a square or rectangular shape.
A triangular pyramid has 4 triangular sides.A rectangular pyramid has 4 triangular sides and 1 rectangular side.
A rectangular pyramid is a 3-dimensional object called a pentahedron. It has a rectangular base. To each side of the base are attached triangles that rise so as to meet at a single point above the base.
A rectangular pyramid has five faces. It has a rectangle as a base. From each side of the base, a triangular faces (four of them in all) come up to meet at a point which is above the base. Follow the link for a square pyramid, a special case of a rectangular pyramid.
A square based pyramid perhaps.
the top down view is the full (whole) thing. It's the biggest part of the shape.
Both views are of a rectangle. One of the sides will be of the same size but he other dimensions can be different.
