o They are square pyramids. They have 5 faces. The 4 lateral faces are triangles, and the 5th face is a square base. Each pyramid has 5 vertices and 8 edges. The 4 lateral faces meet at a single point, or apex.

o They are triangular pyramids. They have 5 faces. The 4 lateral faces are triangles, and the 5th face is a square base. Each pyramid has 5 vertices and 8 edges. The 4 lateral faces meet at a single point, or apex.

o They are right rectangular pyramids. They have 6 faces. The 5 lateral faces are triangles, and the 6th face is a triangular base. Each pyramid has 5 vertices and 8 edges. The 4 lateral faces meet at a single point, or apex.

o They are square pyramids. They have 4 faces. The 3 lateral faces are triangles, and the 4th face is a square base. Each pyramid has 6 vertices and 8 edges. The 3 lateral faces meet at a single point, or apex.

Answer 1

o They are square pyramids. They have 5 faces. The 4 lateral faces are triangles, and the 5th face is a square base. Each pyramid has 5 vertices and 8 edges. The 4 lateral faces meet at a single point, or apex.

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. You are correct, the pyramids shown in the image are indeed triangular pyramids. They have 4 faces. The 3 lateral faces are triangles, and the 4th face is a triangular base. Each pyramid has 4 vertices and 6 edges. The 3 lateral faces meet at a single point, or apex.
