Where the 4-dimensional figures are analogous to their 3-dimensional counterparts, the 4-d name is usually obtained by using the prefix "hyper". This does not distinguish between a 4-d figure or one in higher dimensions but, if necessary, the name can include that information. For example, 4-dimensional hyper-cube.

Is a pyramid a quadrilateral?
No because a quadrilateral is a 4 sided 2 dimensional polygon whereas a pyramid is a 3 dimensional polyhedron
What is a 5 sided shapes name?
A PENTAGON. NB In 2 dimensional figures. , from their Latin roots, the names are :- 3 - Tri 4 = tetra/quad 5 = penta 6 = hexa 7 = hepta 8 = octa 9 = nona 10 = deca 100 = centa 1000 = milla Being a 2-dimensional figure it carries the suffix '----gon'. Hence for a three sided polygon it is a 'trigon' , more usually named as a 'triangle'. NB THere is no such thing as a 1 sided or 2 sided polygon. . Think about it!!!!!
What your other names for a Parallelogram?
a 4 sided figure * * * * * A four sided figure need no be a parallelogram. Think of a kite!
What shape is a decagon?
A plain sided, 2-dimensional figure of TEN(10) sides. NB From the Latin roots, then names of polygons are :- 3 = tri 4 = tetra/quad 5 = pent 6 = hexa 7 = hepta 8 =- octa 9 = nona 10 = deca (As in decagon above).
What is a polyhedron with 4 faces?
A polyhedron is a 2 dimensional object. To have fasce it would have to be at least 3 dimensional. If you want to know what is a polyhedron with 4 sides, it's a quadrilateral THAT'S NOT QUITE RIGHT - actually it's completely false. Sorry, Ratty, a polyhedron is a 3 dimensional figure. Polygon refers to 2 dimensional figures. A pyramid with a triangular base is a polyhedron with 4 faces.
