Well, here are a couple, at least, to get folks started!
1) The base is a square.
2) The other four faces are triangles.
3) There are the same number of faces as there are vertices (five).
4) It is a self-dual polyhedron.
5) The volume of the pyramid is 1/3 * d2 * h, where "d" is the length of one side of the square base and "h" is the perpendicular height of the pyramid.

What is a figure having a polygon and base and triangler sides which meet in a point at the top?
This sounds like you are talking about a pyramid. Pyramids in Geometry are not restricted to the square pyramids you may be used to seeing in pictures of from Egypt. Pyramids are named after the type of polygon that make up their base. In Egypt, since the bases of those pyramids are squares, they are known as square pyramids. If you had a pyramid with a pentagon for a base, then it would be a pentagonal pyramid. Pyramids always have triangles for sides that meet at a common point at the top which is known as the apex.
