How is the number of vertices for a prism related to the name of the prism?
Divide the number of vertices by 3. Find the name of the polygon with that many sides. The prism has that polygon as a base. For example, a prism with 24 vertices. Divide by 3 so that is 8. An 8 sided polygon is an octagon. The name is an octagon-based prism.
How is the number of faces for a prism related to the name of the prism?
A prism with an n-sided base will have 2n vertices, n + 2 faces, and 3n edges.
What is the name of a prism with 9 edges?
A triangular prism has 5 faces, 9 edges and 6 vertices
What shape has 8 faces 12 vertices and 18 edges?
the shape that has 8 faces , 18 edges , and 12 vertices is simply a hexagonal prism not a pyramid my butt :P
Prism how many edges and vertices?
a prism always have 6 or 8 edges and vertices learn math dang * * * * * Good point! Learn math - or maths even. A prism is a generic name for a 3-d shape with two congruent polygonal "bases" with n-sides each, and n rectangles joining them together. That means a prism with a n-polygon base has 3n edges and 2n vertices.

How is the number of vertices related to the name of a prism?
A prism is often named according to its base: one of the pair of congruent and parallel polygonal faces. In that case, if the base is a polygon with n sides, then the prism has 2*n vertices.
What determines the name of a prism or pyramid?
their bases and their vertices.
What is the name of the base when the prism has 12 vertices?
An hexagonal prism would fit the given description
What is the name of a prism with 9 edges?
A triangular prism has 5 faces, 9 edges and 6 vertices
Name a solid figure that has 8 vertices?
Cube / rectangular prism

How many vertices does a octahedron have?
i have no clue * * * * * An octahedron is the name for a non-specific shape. It could, as described above, be a di-rectangular pyramid with 6 vertices. Or it could be a heptagonal pyramid, in which case it has 8 vertices. Or it could be a hexagonal prism, in which case it has 12 vertices. There are other octahedraons.
What is the name of this solid 9edges 5 faces 6 vertices?
A triangular prism would fit the given description.
What is the name of a solid figure with 5 faces 6 vertices and 7 edges?
Well, a triangular prism has 5 faces and 6 vertices, but it has 9 edges. So I'm not sure.
