Is a square pyramid a regular polyhedron?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

regular square pyramid is a polyhedron that has a regular polygon for a base and sides (the lateral faces) that are isosceles triangles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay thankyou(: i wasnt sure lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, the faces are not congruent polygons. One is a square, and the others are triangles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polyhedron

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so... its not? no or yes lol?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's not.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Worse yet, some of these triangles might not even be regular. Look at the definition of a regular polyhedron: "A regular polyhedron is a polyhedron whose faces are congruent \(regular\) polygons..."

OpenStudy (anonymous):
