A square pyramid has a square base and four congruent triangular faces.
2 shapes, a triangle, and a rectangle.since it is a prism, it is like a pyramid, 4 of the faces are triangles,but the base is a rectangle, hence the name rectangularprismtherefore, 2 shapes
There is a contradiction in your question. If the base has four equal sides then is it a square so not all the faces are Triangles. However if the base is a square and the rest of the faces are triangles then your object is a "Square-based Pyramid"
The answer to your question, is an Octahedron.
An octagonal pyramid
The most common pyramid shapes have 3 faces on a triangular base or 4 faces on a square face. Other pyramid shapes may have more faces corresponding to the shape of the base.
a pyramid has for faces and a base so all in all 5 faces the four on the outside are triangular and the base is square :)
A square pyramid has a square base and four congruent triangular faces.
A Triangular Pyramid, 3 faces, 1 base.
A square pyramid has a base with 4 equal sides and triangular faces.

All except the base are always triangles; the shape of the base gives the name to the pyramid; eg a pentagonal pyramid has a pentagon as the base and five triangular faces; a triangular pyramid has three triangular faces and also has a triangle for the base.
One square or rectangle as it's base, and the other sides are triangles.

Two: a pentagonal base and 5 triangular faces. The triangles need not all be the same and if you count them as different shapes, there will be six shapes in all.
