All the side faces of a pyramid are triangles where one side of each triangle merges with a side of the base. Every corner of this structure is linked to a single point at the top, called apex, which makes it appear as a distinct shape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pyramids.png\" alt=\"Pyramids\" class=\"wp-image-33136\" title=\"Pyramids\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pyramids.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pyramids-300x221.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">A pyramid is a polyhedron since its faces are made up of polygons.
