The pyramid is stronger than a cube due to its triangular base, which provides greater structural stability. The pyramid's shape distributes weight evenly down to its base, preventing stress concentrations that can lead to failure. Additionally, the sloped sides of a pyramid help to deflect lateral forces, making it more resistant to toppling compared to a cube. This inherent design allows pyramids to support significant loads while maintaining their integrity.

Assuming a square-based pyramid. 4 more edges in a cube than in a pyramid.
4. Because a cube has 12 and Pyramid has 8
A cube has 8 vertices, a triangular pyramid has 4. So there are 4 more.
A cube has 6 vertices and a square or rectangular based pyramid has 5 vertices so the cube has 1 more.
A cube has 12 edges. A 4-sided pyramid has 8 edges. A 3-sided pyramid has 6 edges. There are also other pyramids with more sides.
