The number of edges of the triangular pyramid is eight but the number of faces is five.* * * * *Even though put in italics, the answer is wrong. It would have been correct for a square or rectangle based pyramid but NOT a triangular pyramid. The latter has 6 edges (and 4 triangular faces).
since the base is a hexagon my guess if this has a name would be: hexagonal pyramid
A square-based pyramid would fit the given description. (A triangular prism would have 9 edges and 6 vertices)
4 faces 6 edges 4 vertices Mathematically, a triangular pyramid would have 4 faces, even though one faces downwards; whereas the square pyramids in egypt are often said to have 4 faces as the bottom is not counted.
the answer is that, if you look at the base and count the edges that's how much more faces there would be on the pyramid. Example, if i have a hexagonal - based pyramid, a hexagon has 6 sides so the faces in the middle of the solid are six also so a hexagonal-based pyramid will have 12 faces. :)
