One side of a square would be untouched with only 3 triangle faces attached to it. To make an entire closed shape, it would need another part or some 3 dimensional bending would need to take place. A pyramid has 1 square face and 4 triangle faces. A pyramid could also have 4 triangle faces where one triangle substitutes the square face.

Why is Maslow's need theory triangular in shape?

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is typically represented in a triangular shape to visually illustrate his theory on human motivation. The structure of the triangle highlights the progression of needs from basic physiological requirements at the bottom to higher-level needs for self-actualization at the top. This visual representation symbolizes the idea that individuals must satisfy lower-level needs before being motivated by higher-level ones.
