The sides are triangular in shape.
From a pyramid, you can trace a triangle and a square. The triangular shape comes from the triangular faces of the pyramid, while the square shape is derived from the base of the pyramid, which is typically a square in the case of a square pyramid. If the pyramid has a different base shape, you could trace that corresponding shape instead.
A square!
It looks the same as a normal pyramid, the only difference is the base of the pyramid is square.
a square * * * * * That would be a square pyramid! A triangular pyramid would have ... wait for it ... a TRIANGULAR base! Worth waiting for, wasn't it?
It will be a square shape if it is a squared based pyramid
A square pyramid is a pyramid whose base is in the shape of a square.

a square based pyramid is a square at the bottom and a pyramid at the top
square based pyramid,
A square!
The difference is the shape. A cube is a 3D square. A square pyramid is a pyramid with for sides and a square on the bottom.
It looks the same as a normal pyramid, the only difference is the base of the pyramid is square.
