How do you carve a cube to make a square pyramid?
Suppose the top face of the pyramid is ABCD with the square EFGH directly below it.Suppose AC and BD meet at P, the apex of the pyramid.Make a cut with a plane through P which is parallel to AB and goes through EF.Make a cut with a plane through P which is parallel to BC and goes through FG.Make a cut with a plane through P which is parallel to CD and goes through GH.Make a cut with a plane through P which is parallel to DA and goes through HE.The result will be the square-based pyramid PEFGH.
Are the edges of a square pyramid parallel?
The base of a square pyramid is a square and its edges are parallel. The sides are not parallel since they intersect at the apex.

Are the edges of a square pyramid parallel?
The base of a square pyramid is a square and its edges are parallel. The sides are not parallel since they intersect at the apex.
What describes all cross sections of a square pyramid where the intersecting plane is parallel to the base?
All cross sections of a square pyramid that are parallel to the base are squares

What is the difference between a square pyramid and a square prism?
A prism is defined as a solid (or three dimensional) geometrical shape in which the sides are parallel, whereas in a pyramid the sides are not parallel and they all come together in an apex.
What is A four sided figure with 2 pairs of parallel?
Square based pyramid
