No such thing as a 'Square' Pyramid. However, the Pyramids at Giza in Egypt have a square base, and four triangular sides that meet at a point. This is the classic form of a pyramid. NB A Triangular based pyramid is named a 'Tetrahedron', NOT a pyramid.
When yo connect the midpoints of THE SIDES OF squares you get a square.
16 Answer #2 It is 16 if you just count the 1 x 1 squares but the 16 squares also form a 4x4 square. There are also 2x2 squares and 3x3 squares in the pattern. 16 1x1 squares 9 2x2 squares 4 3x3 squares 1 4x4 square 30 squares (possibly more?)
Lateral faces are the number of faces excluding the base. Since the square is the base, the other 4 sides will each be touching a lateral face to form a square pyramid (or it wont be a pyramid). So, there are 4.
