The difference in a triangular and rectangular pyramid only has to do with the base of the pyramid, which in turn decide how many sides the pyramid will have. A triangular pyramid has a base shaped like a triangle, which ends up having a total of 4 sides (including the base itself). A rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base, which ends up having a total of 5 sides (including the base itself).
The longer of the sides forming the rectangular base of the pyramid.
A Mayan pyramid has five sides, including the rectangular base.
Square Pyramid
No, a rectangular pyramid is not a polygon. A polygon is a two-dimensional shape with straight sides, while a rectangular pyramid is a three-dimensional shape with a rectangular base and triangular faces that converge at a single point (the apex). Thus, while it has a polygonal base, the pyramid itself is classified as a polyhedron.

Square Pyramid
That would be 2 times the number of sides in the base. For example, a triangular pyramid has 6 edges. A rectangular pyramid has 8 edges. An octagonal pyramid has 16 edges.

A Rectangular pyramid has a base of 4 points, and they lead up to the top point, like a triangle. A rectangular prism has a base of 4, the sides have 4 and the top as well, like a box.
5 bases. It depends on which face is used as the base. Generally it would be the rectangular face is the base. However, re-orientating the pyramid , a triangular face could be the base , and the rectangle one of the faces ( in the air).
A rectangular pyramid.
the shape of the base of a rectangular pyramid is a rectangle.
a rectangular pyramid rectangular base and 4 triangular sides = 5 faces
To make a rectangualr pyramid,you need a rectangle for the base, and four triangles on the sides.
