a pyramid
The shape of its base. So you can get triangular pyramids, square pyramids and so on.
no not all pyramids are polyhedron because each pyramid has a different shape. so no each pyramid is not a polyhedron * * * * * Yes they are.
It depends. A pyramid is a basic shape if you are reffering to the pyramids like the ones in Giza, Egypt those would be a square-based pyramid.
They're not always. But anytime something is not a pyramid shape, it's not called a pyramid,it's called something else. So everything that's left ... all the things that are a pyramid shape ...is called a pyramid.
Examples: A pyramids, person shape like pyramids, foods shape like pyramids etc

A pyramid has a shape at the base (it can be turned, remember) and this shape becomes progressively smaller as its height increases to finally become a point at the top.The type of pyramid depends on the actual shape of the base. Some pyramids have other names also (eg a triangular pyramid is also a tetrahedron).A circular pyramid is also called a cone.The pyramids in Egypt are square pyramids.
