How can you use the shape of the base of a pyramid to determine the number of faces on the pyramid?

the answer is that, if you look at the base and count the edges that's how much more faces there would be on the pyramid. Example, if i have a hexagonal - based pyramid, a hexagon has 6 sides so the faces in the middle of the solid are six also so a hexagonal-based pyramid will have 12 faces. :)

Which has more sides a shape with six vertices or a shape with seven vertices?
The number of vertices does not determine the number of faces. If the shape with 6 vertices was a quadrilateral based bipyramid, it would have 8 faces. A hexagonal based pyramid has 7 vertices and 7 faces. So more vertices does not necessarily imply more faces.
What is a 3d shape with 5 faces?
A 3d shape with 5 faces can be a square pyramid
Which shape has the same number of faces and corners?
tetrahedron aka triangular pyramid
Which 3D shape has the same amount of faces as corners?
A pyramid has the same number of faces as vertices. A triangular pyramid has 4. A rectangular pyramid has 5. Check into Euler's Theorems.
What shape has 5 faces?
A pyramid!
Number of faces of a pyramid shape?
A pyramid shape, by default, has a square base. It therefore has 5 faces.
What makes a pyramid a pyramid?
Its shape, the number of faces edges and vertices.
