A square pyramid has four triangular faces and one square face. In total, that is five faces.
A square based pyramid.
A pyramid can have 4 or more faces. A pyramid, with a n-sided polygon as base will have n+1 faces. The polygon with the least number of sides is a triangle and a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) has 4 faces. A square based pyramid has 5 faces, and so on.

Do pyramids have perpendicular faces ?

It can be.
The description given seems to fit that of a square based pyramid.
In a triangular based pyramid, the three faces that form the base are perpendicular to the apex of the pyramid, which means they have pairs of perpendicular sides. The other three faces, which are triangular, do not have pairs of perpendicular sides.

There are five faces on a square based pyramid.
A square-based pyramid has five faces -- the square base and four triangular faces.
A square based pyramid has 8 edges and 5 faces.
A square pyramid has 1 more face than a tetrahedron. A tetrahedron has 4 faces (equilateral triangles), while a square pyramid has 5 faces (4 triangles and 1 square base). Therefore, the square pyramid has one additional face compared to the tetrahedron.
A square based pyramid has 5 vertices and 5 faces.
A square pyramid will not have any curved faces.
