How many edges in a 100-gon pyramid?

A pyramid with a polygonal base has as many edges as the number of sides of its base plus the number of edges in the base. A 100-gon pyramid would have 100 edges on its base and an additional number of edges equal to the number of sides of the base, which is also 100. Therefore, a 100-gon pyramid would have 100 + 100 = 200 edges.
