A "pyramid" is a non-specific term refering to a 3-d shape consisting of a base which is a polygon with n sides, and n triangular faces meeting at an apex. Such a pyramid would have 2n edges.
Thus, a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) has 6 edges; a square based pyramid has 8, etc.
A pyramid with a polygonal base has as many edges as the number of sides of its base plus the number of edges in the base. A 100-gon pyramid would have 100 edges on its base and an additional number of edges equal to the number of sides of the base, which is also 100. Therefore, a 100-gon pyramid would have 100 + 100 = 200 edges.

No, it is the other way around. The total number of edges is twice the number of edges on the base.
The number of edges of the triangular pyramid is eight but the number of faces is five.* * * * *Even though put in italics, the answer is wrong. It would have been correct for a square or rectangle based pyramid but NOT a triangular pyramid. The latter has 6 edges (and 4 triangular faces).

A pyramid cannot have 13 edges: it must have an even number of edges.
There are actually more than a pyramid that have that number of edges. Pentagonal star pyramid has 20 edges. Decagonal pyramid is another one.
That would be 2 times the number of sides in the base. For example, a triangular pyramid has 6 edges. A rectangular pyramid has 8 edges. An octagonal pyramid has 16 edges.
Twenty edges
It depends on the base of the pyramid. To find it, add the number of edges of the vertices is of the base to its number of edges. Example: for a square pyramid, there is 4 vertices and 4 edges in the base. The Edges of the pyramid is then 4+4 which equals 8.
