Yes because it follows an even pattern sequence starting from 6 8 10 12 ...etc

whereas a triangular based pyramid has 6 edges, a square based has 10 edges, a pentagonal based has 10 and so on.

Yes, they do.

A pyramid is a generic term describing a polyhedron (solid shape). It consists of a base that is a polygon with n sides. To each edge of the polygon is attached a triangle and these meet at an apex.


The polygon at the base has n edges. Each triangle is joined to the ones on either side so these also contribute n edges. Thus a pyramid with an n-gon base has 2n edges.

How can you show that every Hamiltonian cubic graph is 3-edge-colorable?

A cubic graph must have an even number of vertices. Then, a Hamilton cycle (visiting all vertices) must have an even number of vertices and also an even number of edges. Alternatively color this edges red and blue, and the remaining edges green.

How are cones and pyramids alike and how are they different?

Both cones and pyramids have one base and they all have a vertex, or they all come to a point. That is what makes them alike. What make them different is that a cone has one curved edge at its base, and a pyramid has 6 to 8 edges which is not curved
