The edges for a rectangular pyramid is 8.
A rectangular pyramid has 5 bases. The base of a pyramid is the polygon upon which the pyramid stands, and in the case of a rectangular pyramid, there are four triangular faces that meet at a single rectangular base. So, the total number of bases in a rectangular pyramid is 1 (rectangular base) + 4 (triangular faces) = 5 bases.
Suppose that the area of the rectangular base is: lw then if the height is: h the surface area is: lw + lh + wh I believe that formula is for the surface area of a rectangular prism...
