Yes, a prism has an even number of vertices. A prism is a three-dimensional shape with two parallel and congruent polygonal bases connected by rectangular or parallelogram faces. The number of vertices in a prism is equal to the number of vertices in its bases plus the number of vertices in the lateral faces. Since each base has an equal number of vertices, and the lateral faces have an even number of vertices, the total number of vertices in a prism is always even.
Every prism has vertices. They have an even number of vertices, with a minimum of 6 and no maximum.
for any prism , number of ___ + number of vertices = number of edges + ___
You count the number of vertices in the polygon that forms the base. The prism has twice as many vertices.
It has 12 vertices
6 vertices

No. Not can it have an odd number of vertices.

They are an even number, greater than or equal to 6.
28 We can check this using smaller prisims, with a triangular prism (3-sided) there are 6 vertices. WIth a rectangular prism (4-sided), there are 8 vertices. The number of vertices in a prism is always twice the number of sides.
A prism with 16 vertices must be an octagonal prism and so has 10 faces.
no
No. A triangular prism has six vertices. A square pyramid has five vertices. A triangular pyramid has four vertices.
A prism has 2n vertices, where n is the number of sides in its base polygon. This is because each side of the base polygon is connected to another side by a vertical edge, and each vertex is formed at the intersection of two edges. So, a prism with a pentagonal base would have 10 vertices (5 vertices from the base polygon and 5 vertices from the top polygon).
