Don't know, can't tell. You need to provide some additional information. The only requirement that must be met for a pyramid to be a square pyramid is that the base be square. Pyramids do not have "sides." They have faces, edges, and vertices. So I don't know which measurement is 9 meters. Is it the side of the square base? Is it one of the triangle face edges? Is it both, i.e. is it a Johnson Square Pyramid? Is the apex on a normal through the center of the base? You have to tell the whole story, this is Algebra.com, not the Psychic Hot Line.
