Rectangle based pyramid?
It is a 3-dimensional shape - a polyhedron = whose base is a rectangle and which has four triangular faces attached to its sides. These free vertices of these triangles meet at an apex above the base.
How many VERTICES does a rectangle pyramid have?
Just the one that forms the pyramid's base
Can a triangular pyramid be called a rectangle pyramid?
No. A triangular pyramid describes a triangle whose base is a triangle (not just the sides which define it as a pyramid), whereas a rectangular pyramid is one whose base is a rectangle. A triangle and a rectangle are not the same (a triangle is not a rectangle, and a rectangle is not a triangle), so it would be incorrect to refer to a triangle-based pyramid as a rectangle pyramid.
How many vertices have a pyramid?
A pyramid, whose base is a polygon with n sides, has n+1 vertices. Thus a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) has 4 vertices, a quadrilateral (square or rectangular) pyramid has 5 vertices; etc.
How many vertex has a pyramid whose base is a rectangle?
4
How many verticies does a pyramid have whose base is an n-gon?
A pyramid with an n-sided base will have n + 1 vertices.
Does a pyramid have 8 vertices?
A pyramid is a generic term used to describe a polyhedron with a polygonal base and a number of triangles rising from that base to meet at an apex. A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n-sides (or vertices) has n+1 faces, n+1 vertices and 2n edges, where n ≥ 3. So a pyramid with a heptagonal base will have 8 vertices!
How many edges and vertices does a pyramid have?
A pyramid is a generic term used to describe a polyhedron with a polygonal base and a number of triangles rising from that base to meet at an apex. A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n-sides (or vertices) has n+1 faces, n+1 vertices and 2n edges, where n ? 3.
How many edges and vertices are on a pyramid?
8 edges and 5 vertices. * * * * * Only if it is a quadrilateral based pyramid. A pyramid is a generic term used to describe a polyhedron with a polygonal base and a number of triangles rising from that base to meet at an apex. A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n-sides (or vertices) has n+1 faces, n+1 vertices and 2n edges, where n ≥ 3.
Who many vertices does a pyramid have?
A pyramid is a generic term used to describe a polyhedron with a polygonal base and a number of triangles rising from that base to meet at an apex. A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n-sides (or vertices) has n+1 faces, n+1 vertices and 2n edges, where n ≥ 3.
