What polyhedron whose base is any polygonal region and all its other faces are triangular regions with a common vertex?
There are an infinite number of such polyhedra. Starting with a tetrahedron (triangular base), the next up is the quadrilateral pyramid (quadrilateral base), then the pentagonal pyramid, the hexagonal pyramid and so on.
What has 5 faces and 5 corners?
A quadrilateral based pyramid. A square based pyramid would be a more common form for school maths.
What is the name of a square based pyramid?
A square based pyramid is the best name. It is a pentahedron, but that could also refer to a pyramid on any quadrilateral base and so the name is far less informative.
What 3D shape is a pentahedron?
It could be a pyramid with a quadrilateral base or a triangular prism. There are, of course, other related shapes that it could be.
What is the shape of the cross section in a square based pyramid?
It can be a square, a trapezium, a quadrilateral or a triangle - depending on the inclination of the plane which defines the cross section.
