When you cut the tip off a square pyramid. if you keep your scissors level to the base of the pyramid what will be the shape of the new base of the tip?

It will be a square shape if it is a squared based pyramid


What figure do you get when you cut a pyramid's top off?

It is called a frustum.


What has 6 faces 8 verticies and 12 edges?

A cube, a rectangular solid (box) or any skewed version of these. Even a truncated pyramid (square base, four sides, but top cut off).


What solid figure has 11 faces?

i think it's a cone * * * * * No, it cannot be a cone. But there are a number of possibilities: A decagonal pyramid = a pyramid whose base is a decagon. A nonagonal prism = a prism whose bases are nonagons. A pentagonal pyramid + pentagonal frustum = two pentagonal pyramids stuck together along their pentagonal bases and with one of the apices (plural of apex) cut off. A cuboid with three corners cut off. et cetera.


How can you turn pyramid to a octahedron?

If the pyramid has a triangular sides then truncate each vertex (cut off a small pyramid shape from the vertices).If the pyramid has a quadrilateral base then truncate 3 vertices.If the pyramid has a pentagonal base then truncate 2 vertices.If the pyramid has a hexagonal base then truncate 1 vertex.If the pyramid has a heptagonal base then it is already an octahedron.If the pyramid has an base with 8 or more vertices then slice off the section formed by joining the apex and two vertices from the base which are six apart. This makes the base heptagonal and therefore the shape is an octahedron.
