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. :)
A pyramid with an n-sided base will have n + 1 vertices, n + 1 faces, and 2n edges. 6 faces, 10 edges, 6 vertices

If it's a pyramid, it has 10 edges.
There are 4 visible faces, 5 vertices, and 8 edges. But considering you can see the bottom of the pyramid, there would then be 5 visible faces, 5 vertices, and 8 edges. * * * * * That is an incomplete answer. A pyramid need not have a quadrilateral base. "Pyramid" is a generic term for a 3-dimensional shape with a base which is an n-sided polygon and n triangular faces that meet at an apex. A pyramid with a n-polygon base has n + 1 faces, n + 1 vertices and 2n edges.

A prism with 10 faces would have 16 vertices. A pyramid with 10 faces would have 10 vertices. Since your figure is neither of these, you need to tell us what it is. In case your numbers were incorrect, here are the formulas: A prism with an n-sided base will have 2n vertices, n + 2 faces, and 3n edges. A pyramid with an n-sided base will have n + 1 vertices, n + 1 faces, and 2n edges.
A "pyramid" is a non-specific term refering to a 3-d shape consisting of a base which is a polygon with n sides, and n triangular faces meeting at an apex. Such a pyramid would have 2n edges. Thus, a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) has 6 edges; a square based pyramid has 8, etc.
A squared base pyramid would fit the given description
A square-based pyramid would fit the given description. (A triangular prism would have 9 edges and 6 vertices)
