Rectangular Pyramid Definition
Rectangular pyramid is a 3-D shape with a rectangle base and triangular faces that meet at a common point called the apex. Rectangular pyramid is classified into two types:
- Right Rectangular Pyramid
- Oblique Rectangular Pyramid
A right rectangular pyramid is a rectangular pyramid that has its apex directly above the centre of its base. In contrast, an oblique rectangular pyramid is a rectangular pyramid where the apex is not aligned right above the centre of its base. The height of an oblique rectangular pyramid is the perpendicular line drawn from the apex to the base of the pyramid.

Rectangular pyramid is a three-dimensional object that has a rectangular base upon which are erected four triangular faces that meet at a common point called the apex. It has a total of five faces, i.e., a rectangular base, four triangular faces, five vertices, and eight edges. In a rectangular pyramid, all the triangular faces are congruent to the opposite face.
