More correctly it is a 'Tetrahedron'. A Tetrahedron is a solid object with '4' (four) triangular faces.

The Pyramids of Egypt are NOT tetrahedrons, because they have five(5) faces. made up of 4 triangular faces ( which you see) , and a SQUARE BAse (5th face) which they are built on.

if you can visualize the pyrimads of Egypt do so. these pyrimads are square pyrimads. it means they have a square base. a triangular pyrimad has a triangle base with the three corners of the triangle rising up and meeting at one point.
