No, prisms and pyramids do not have the same number of vertices. A prism has two identical polygonal bases connected by rectangular faces, so it has 2 more vertices than the number of sides in the base polygon. A pyramid has a polygonal base and triangular faces connecting the base to a single vertex, so it has 1 more vertex than the number of sides in the base polygon.

Honey, let me break it down for you. Prisms and pyramids may sound fancy, but they're not twins. Prisms have two congruent bases and the same number of vertices as edges, while pyramids have one base and fewer vertices than edges. So, no, they don't have the same number of vertices.

Sometimes.

A prism whose base is a n-sided polygon has the same number of vertices (2n) as a pyramid with a base that is a (2n-1)-sided polygon. For example, a triangular prism has the same number of vertices as a pentagonal pyramid.

Which figures have the same number of faces as vertices?

They are square based pyramids


How many vertices does a pyramid have?

Vertices in a PyramidA tetrahedron is the simplest pyramid. It has four vertices and four faces.A pyramid, the same general shape as monumental structures in Egypt, with a square base and four triangular faces meeting at an apex has 5 vertices.However, a pyramid can have any polygon as its base. A pyramid with an n-sided polygon as base would have n+1 vertices.So a twelve sided pyramid would have 13 vertices I think there are 4......* * * * *One more than the number of vertices (corners) on the base. A triangular pyramid has 3+1 = 4 vertices, a rectangular pyramid has 4+1 = 5 and so on.It depends. There are different kinds of pyramids, with different amounts of vertices (the plural for vertex). There are square pyramids, with square bases, triangle pyramids, with triangular bases, hexagon pyramids, octagon pyramids, pentagon pyramids... here are a few answers, though: Square pyramids have five vertices. Triangle pyramids have four. Hexagon pyramids have seven, octagon pyramids have nine, pentagon pyramids have six.6


What do you notice about the number of sides and the number vertices apolygon has?

The number of sides and vertices are the same


How are rectangular prisms and pyramids are the same?

they are the same because, they both have rectangular bases. Rectangular prisms are rectangular from the top and bottom (they are flat) while a rectangular pyramid has a point on the top where all of the edges meet. A pyramid has a tip at the top which unables it to stand on the tip while prisms can anyways.


Which figures have the same number of sides vertices and angles?

Vertices and angles are the same thing. Any polygon has an equal number of sides and vertices (and, therefore, angles).Vertices and angles are the same thing. Any polygon has an equal number of sides and vertices (and, therefore, angles).Vertices and angles are the same thing. Any polygon has an equal number of sides and vertices (and, therefore, angles).Vertices and angles are the same thing. Any polygon has an equal number of sides and vertices (and, therefore, angles).
