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.
Oh, dude, you're talking about a square pyramid! It's like a pyramid, but with a square base and four triangular faces. So, technically, it has 5 faces in total. Math can be fun, right?
A Triangular Based pyramid is acutally a 'TETRAHEDRON'. A Solid object with four triangular faces. A Pyramid has a SQUARE Base and four triangular faces. Making for five(5) faces in total. Neither are prisms.
The line joining the apex to the centre of the square base of a right pyramid is an axis of symmetry. Not sure what the other three are!
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.
