What is a polyhedron in which one face can be any polygon and the lateral faces are triangles that meet at a common vertex?
A pyramid has a polygonal base with all other sides being triangles. As the Egyptians famously demonstrated, a common pyramid has a square base with four triangles meeting at a vertex, but any polygon - regular or irregular - can be used as the base of such a polyhedron.
How many sides does a pyramid got?
A pyramid is a generic term used to describe a polyhedron with a polygonal base and a number of triangles rising from that base to meet at an apex. If you include the base, a pyramid whose base is a polygon with n-sides (or vertices) has n+1 faces, n+1 vertices and 2n edges, where n >= 3.
How many lateral faces do pyramids have?
Three or more, as many as the number of sides of the base. Pyramids can have base that are triangles, squares rectangles, or any planar polygon.
Rectangle based pyramid?
It is a 3-dimensional shape - a polyhedron = whose base is a rectangle and which has four triangular faces attached to its sides. These free vertices of these triangles meet at an apex above the base.
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.

A polyhedron with a base and sides that are triangles is a?
A Triangular Pyramid
What are the example of a pyramid?
A polyhedron with a polygonal base and triangles for sides.
What are the definitions of the prism and pyramid?
A prism isa polyhedron- that is, 3-dimensional shape bounded by polygons. It has two parallel bases that are identical polygons. The corresponding sides of these polygons are joined together by quadrilaterals.A pyramid is also a polyhedron. It has a polygonal base of n sides and n triangles, attached to each of the sides of the polygon, that meet at an apex above [or below] the plane of the polygon.AA prism isa polyhedron- that is, 3-dimensional shape bounded by polygons.

What has a polygon for its base and triangles for its sides which meet at one vertex?
It is a pyramid
How many edges and vertices does a pyramid have?
A pyramid is a generic term used to describe a polyhedron with a polygonal base and a number of triangles rising from that base to meet at an apex. A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n-sides (or vertices) has n+1 faces, n+1 vertices and 2n edges, where n ? 3.
What polyhedron have a polygon for a base and triangle sides with a common vertex?
A pyramid seems to fit the description.
How many triangles are on a pyramid?
A pyramid is a generic term used to describe a polyhedron with a polygonal base and a number of triangles rising from that base to meet at an apex. A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n-sides (or vertices) has n+1 faces, n+1 vertices and 2n edges, where n ≥ 3.
What is a polyhedron having a polygon for a base and triangular sides with a common vertex?
A pyramid fits the given description
Is the base on a polyhedron considered a face?
Yes. A base on a polyhedron is a face and a base on a polygon is a side.
How many sides and vertices does a pryamid have?
A pyramid is a generic term used to describe a polyhedron with a polygonal base and a number of triangles rising from that base to meet at an apex. A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n-sides (or vertices) has n+1 faces, n+1 vertices and 2n edges, where n >= 3.
What is a polyhedron with a polygon base and triangular sides that allmeet at a common vertex?
A polyhedron with a polygon base and triangular sides that all meet at a common vertex is known as a pyramid. The base can be any polygon, such as a triangle, square, or pentagon, and the triangular sides are called lateral faces. The vertex where all the triangular faces converge is referred to as the apex of the pyramid. Each type of pyramid is named based on the shape of its base, such as a triangular pyramid or a square pyramid.
