Shape has 4 faces its a polygon each face is an equilateral triangle?

The figure described is a polyhedron. It is a tetrahedron known as a triangular pyramid.


What are the shape of the faces on pyramid?

The faces of a pyramid are typically triangular, with the exception of the base, which is usually a polygon (often a square or rectangle). Each triangular face connects the apex (top point) of the pyramid to the edges of the base. In a regular pyramid, all triangular faces are congruent, while in irregular pyramids, they can vary in shape and size.


What is each polygon of a polyhedron called?

It is called a face of the polyhedron.


Does a pyramid have eight edges?

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.

How many vertices the pyramid have?

In geometry a pyramid is a generic term describing a shape that consists of a base that is a n-sided polygon, and n triangular faces attached to each of the polygon's sides which meet at an apex above the base. A pyramid with an n-sided polygon as base has n+1 faces, n+1 vertices and 2n edges.

24 faces including the base face


What is a solid figure with one face that is a polygon?

A polygon is a many sided 2-dimensional figure, and thus could never be "solid" Alternatively, it could be "one face that is a polygon". In that case the solid could be like a pyramid that morphs into a cone or a part-sphere. The base would be the one polygon, the other face would not.

How mena side does pyramid?

I presume the question is meant to be: How many sides does a pyramid have? The answer is 4 or more. A pyramid has a polygonal base where the polygon can have 3 or more sides. Corresponding to each of these sides there will be a triangle rising to the apex of the pyramid. In all, a pyramid whose base is a polygon with n sides will have n+1 faces (sides).
