How many edges does this prism have?

Answer 1

A prism has edges that correspond to the number of edges in its base shape. For example, a triangular prism, which has a triangular base, has 6 edges (3 from the top triangle and 3 from the bottom triangle). In general, a prism with an n-sided polygon as its base will have a total of 3n edges: n edges from the top base, n edges from the bottom base, and n vertical edges connecting the two bases.
