a pyramid, in the sense that most people think of has a square base, with 4 triangle 'sides', which would be 5 faces. A regular tetrahedron has 4 equilateral triangles as faces.
The object you are describing is a square pyramid. A square pyramid has a square base and four triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex. Each triangular face is formed by connecting a vertex of the base square to the apex. The total number of faces in a square pyramid is 5 - 1 square base and 4 triangular faces.
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.
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.
A polyhedron can have any number of faces 4 or higher.

Four(4). It is formally named as a 'tetrahedron'. There is the triangular base ; one side. and three triangular faces m aking for a total of four faces. A square based 'pyramid' is formally a 'pyramid'. A square base and four triangular faces.
There are five (5) faces on a square pyramid
A square pyramid has 5 faces. It has 1 square face and 4 triangle faces.
Square Pyramid has a square base and 4 triangular sides. Triangular Pyramid has a triangle base and 3 triangular sides.
5 faces- 1 for each triangle and 1 for the square base8 edges- 4 for the square base and 4 for the edges between triangular face5 vertices- 4 for the square's corners and 1 at the top
A tetrahedron. It looks like a puramid with a triangle for a base insted of a square.
