Question

Which of the following best describes the base of a pyramid?

A. It can be any polygon.
B. It is a circle.
C. It must be a square.
D. It is a triangle.

Answer 1

A. It can be any polygon.

Explanation:

A pyramid is a polyhedron with a base, which can be any polygon, but is most often a square.

When the base is a triangle, the pyramid has a total of four faces.

The famous Egyptian pyramids have square bases and four triangular faces. As the number of sides increases in a pyramid, it begins to look like a cone.

So, we can say A and C are both correct. But we will go with A as a square will also be considered in it.
