A hexagonal pyramid.================A pyramid with 7 faces has a base plus 6 triangular sides, so is called a hexagonal pyramid.
A hexagon is a six sided figure so, a hexagonal base has six triangular sides. Each triangle has three vertices, so such a pyramid has 18 vertices
A hexagonal pyramid has a hexagonal base and six triangles that are connected to the sides of the hexagon.
Pyramids are classified by the shape of their base. A triangular pyramid has a triangular base and three triangular side faces. A square pyramid has a square base and four triangular sides. A pentagonal pyramid has a pentagonal base and five triangular sides. A hexagonalpyramid has a hexagonal base and six triangular sides, and so on.
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. :)
