When you place two square-based pyramids square to square, they form a shape known as a bipyramid. This configuration results in a three-dimensional shape with a square base and two apexes, one above and one below the base, connected by triangular faces. The overall shape resembles a diamond or a double-pointed figure.
you can make a square based pyramid using 4 triangles and a 1 square
To construct an octahedron using square pyramids, you need a total of 8 square pyramids. Each pyramid can be placed with its base facing outward, sharing a vertex at the center of the octahedron. This arrangement allows the pyramids to form the eight triangular faces of the octahedron.

A bigger square!
Yes, a lozenge shape.

Assume square pyramids. Use the smaller of the two as the apex of a hexahedron that is a square frustum of the right measurements.

With the engineering they had available, that was the shape that let them build the biggest and tallest stuff.
people heaved bricks up with ropes to make a pyramid shape
a rectangle or square
a pentagon
a square
of course you can, with a square you can and a circle
Yes, a lozenge shape.
A bigger square!
a pentagon.
