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.

No such thing as a 'square pyramid'. A pyramid is a solid object, with one (1) square base, and four(4) triangular faces. Only one face is 'square' , the BASE. ALL pyramids have a SQUARE base, so there is no need to describe it as a 'square pyramid'. Do NOT confuse with a Tetrahedron, which is a solid object, composed of four(4) triangular faces. The base being a triangle, and three triangular faces.
A PYRAMID . If a solid object has a different shaped base , then it is NOT a pyramid. e.g. Tetrahedron, Is a solid object of four triangular faces, one of which is the base. NNB A Pyramid is a pentahedron, consisting of four triangular faces, set on a square base.
There is a contradiction in your question. If the base has four equal sides then is it a square so not all the faces are Triangles. However if the base is a square and the rest of the faces are triangles then your object is a "Square-based Pyramid"
An object cannot have more than one base. However a pyramid has 4 triangular FACES and a square BASE.
No such thing as a 'Square pyramid'. A pyramid is a solid object , with a square base and four triangular faces.
A square pyramid has a square base and four congruent triangular faces.
The 3D shapes that have all their faces equal to their base are known as regular polyhedra. Specifically, these include the tetrahedron (4 triangular faces), cube (6 square faces), octahedron (8 triangular faces), dodecahedron (12 pentagonal faces), and icosahedron (20 triangular faces). Each of these shapes features congruent faces that exhibit symmetry.
All pyramids are square based. It is a 3-dimensional solid object. It consists of four triangular faces, coming to a point, set on a square base ( 5th face). Any solid object that is NOT squared based is NOT a pyramid. e.g. A Tetrahedron. A triangular base, with three triangular faces.
If you are thinking of a solid object then it is a PYRAMID. NB Do NOT confuse with a TETRAHEDRON. This is a triangular base with three triangular faces.
