Can a pyramid have 3 triangles? - Answers

The answer depends upon what is meant by "have 3 triangles?" The definition of a pyramid is "a solid having a polygonal base, and triangular sides that meet in a point." (Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary) Typical pyramids have a 4-sided quadrilateral base and 4 triangular sides, which means that it can be loosely said to also "have" 3 triangles as well as "have" 4 triangles. A pyramid with a triangular base would also have 3 triangular sides. If we include the shape of the base as a side of the pyramid, then no pyramid would have exactly 3 "sides."
