A pyramid is a generic term used to describe a polyhedron with a polygonal base and a number of triangles rising from that base to meet at an apex. A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n-sides (or vertices) has n+1 faces, n+1 vertices and 2n edges, where n >= 3.
8 edges and 5 vertices. * * * * * Only if it is a quadrilateral based pyramid. A pyramid is a generic term used to describe a polyhedron with a polygonal base and a number of triangles rising from that base to meet at an apex. A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n-sides (or vertices) has n+1 faces, n+1 vertices and 2n edges, where n ≥ 3.
4 For a pyramid with a triangle base- 4 vertices (plural of vertex) For a pyramid with a square base- 5 vertices
A pyramid, with a 22-gon base will have 23 vertices.
A pyramid with a base of 10 sides will have 10 vertices along the base. In addition to these base vertices, a pyramid will have one vertex at the apex, where all the triangular faces meet. Therefore, a pyramid with a 10-sided base will have a total of 11 vertices.
