It is a square based pyramid. And the word is which, not witch!
Depends on the pyramid. A pyramid with a square (or quadrilateral) base would indeed have 8 edges, but a pyramid can have any other polygon as a base.Depends on the pyramid.

You cannot have a 2d pyramid - whether or not it is square based. The 2d cross section will depend on the plane of the cross section.
A square pyramid's base is a square. You can tell by the name (for exp. a triangular pyramid's base is a triangle.) Good luck with whatever you need it for :)
Square pyramid
It is a square based pyramid. And the word is which, not witch!
It is just called a square pyramid, but its not square. Its only square on the bottom, so they call it a square pyramid, or you can simply just call it a pyramid because a pyramid is a pyramid.
The scientific name for a square base pyramid is a "square pyramid." It is a type of pyramid where the base is a square and the triangular sides meet at a common apex point.
A square based pyramid is a 3-d object. It does not have a 2-d name!

Because its base is a square.
No, a square pyramid has only 1 square (the base) and the other 4 are triangles
A square based pyramid is the best name. It is a pentahedron, but that could also refer to a pyramid on any quadrilateral base and so the name is far less informative.

A rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base and four triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex. A square pyramid, on the other hand, has a square base and four triangular faces that meet at a single point. The key difference is in the shape of the base - rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base, while a square pyramid has a square base.
4 triangles and 1 square
