How many faces does a circle based pyramid have?

A circle-based pyramid, also known as a cone, has two faces: the circular base and the curved surface that tapers to a point at the apex. The base is a flat, two-dimensional shape, while the curved surface is a three-dimensional shape that extends from the base to the apex. Therefore, a circle-based pyramid has a total of two faces.


Could any polyhedron be the base of a pyramid?

No. Polyhedra are three-dimensional objects, and the base of any prism, strictly speaking, should be two-dimensional. Any convex polygon (which is two-dimensional) can form the base of a pyramid. A circle, which is technically not a polygon, is the only convex two-dimensional figure that cannot form the base of a pyramid because it forms the base of a cone.

The answer is "No"; a right circular cone has a circle as its base while a right triangular cone has a triangular base (which we usually call a "pyramid". The Egyptian Pyramids have square bases. And the volume of any "right" pyramid is found by multiplying the area of its base by its VERTICAL height.


How are a cone and a pyramid alike?

Start with a regular tetrahedron (triangular based pyramid). As you increase the number of sides in the base of the pyramid, the shape becomes more and more like a right cone. In the limit, the base tends to a polygon with an infinite number of sides - a circle, and the pyramid tends to a right cone.
