Are the pyramids in Giza triangular based?

The pyramids in Egypt are designed with a square bottom and triangular sides that come together to form... well... pyramids. There are many different styles of pyramids, as we have discovered through observation of each individual monument. The reasons for these changes are still unclear, but we generally have a good idea of why they are shaped the way they are base off of simple observation. For example, the "bent" pyramid is likely the way it is because its base was just too big for the design. Did you know that pyramids are not found only in Egypt? ~Apple Juice

How many sides does a pyramid have?

A pyramid can have an infinite number of sides other than two. If it has one (or an infinite number of) side(s), it is considered a cone. If it is, for example, a hexagonal pyramid, it will have six sides. A triangle-based pyramid has three sides. A square-based pyramid, commonly the structure used by ancient Egyptians, has four sides. There can be pentagonal pyramids, hexagonal pyramids and so on.
