sounds like a pyramid, if you're talking 3-d. and an apex... the top.

I dont believe there is a simple answer to this question. The figure that comes closest is a pyramid with a square base. It has 5 faces, 8 edges and (unfortunately) 5 corners. If you can imagine the pyramid being made of clay, and "bending it over" so that the top point touches one of the bottom corners, the resulting figure should work, because you eliminate one of the points, but I doubt that is what the asker had in mind.

You're a pentahedron, specifically a square pyramid.
The way to know this is by counting the number of faces. Five faces = pentahedron.
Now, there are two different solids that can have five faces, a square pyramid and a triangular prism.
A triangular prism, however, has 6 corners and 9 edges, and you have only 4 corners and 8 edges, so you're a square pyramid.
