Four sides ⇒ it is a tetrahedron.

More commonly, it is called a triangular pyramid.

How many edges and vertices on a triangular pyramid?

A triangular pyramid is one with a triangle shaped base and triangular sides (4 sides, all of them identical), therefore it would only have 6 edges and 4 vertices There are eight edges in a triangular pyramid, and there are five vertices on a triangular pyramid. Edges are the places where two flat surfaces meet. Vertices are the places where three or more flat surfaces meet. * * * * * The sides of a triangular pyramid need not be identical.


How many sides are in a triangular prism?

5 sides 9 edges and 6 vertices


What shape has 5 faces 8 edges and 8 vertices?

This describes a square pyramid. It has a square for a base, and four triangular sides that meet at the "top" or upper vertex. It will then have 5 faces, which will be the 4 triangular sides and the square base. It will also have 8 edges and 8 vertices. Use the link below to see a drawing and you can count all the faces, edges and vertices.


How many faces edges and vertices does a triangular based pyramid have?

Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, a triangular-based pyramid has 4 faces, 6 edges, and 4 vertices. It's like a fancy 3D shape with all these sides and points, but hey, who's counting, right?


How many edges vertices and sides?

The answer depends on the shape.


How many vertices faces and sides does a triangular prism have?

6 vertices, 2 triangular faces, 3 rectangular sides, 9 edges


Does a triangular prism have 12 edges?

The triangular prism from high school science class used to demonstrate the refraction of light has 9 edges, 5 sides and 6 vertices.


How many sides faces and vertex does a triangular prism?

Can you put the word tetrahedron in a sentence?

Sure! The tetrahedron is a geometric shape with four triangular faces, four vertices, and six edges.


What shape has 5 faces and 6 vertices and 9 edges?

A triangular prism. 5 faces: 2 triangular ends and 3 rectangular sides 6 vertices: 3 around each end 9 edges: 3 around each end plus 3 joining the vertices of one end to their pair at the other end.


How many faces vertices and edges does a square shape have?

A Square has 4 sides and 4 vertices.


What shape has more sides pyramid or triangular prism?

You don't get any sides on 3D shapes. However, here are the features of both shapes: Square based pyramid: 5 faces, 5 vertices, 8 edges Triangular prism: 5 faces, 6 vertices, 9 edges. Then again, it depends on what type of base the pyramid in question has.
