How many faces edges and vertices does a truncated pyramid have?

A truncated pyramid has: faces = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base + 2 vertices = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base x 2 edges = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base x 3


What is a flattened pyramid?

It is the net of its solid shape. If the top of the pyramid is cut off parallel to the base, then it is a truncated pyramid, or a frustum.


Why does a square truncated pyramid support more weight than a penagon pyramid?

Assuming that you mean pentagon, not pentagon, the answer is simply that a truncated pyramid has a flat top which can support weight easily whereas a pentagon pyramid would require a very fine balancing act.

Was geometry used in building pyramids?

It is an understanding of geometry because when the Egyptian slaves and/or laborers were building the pyramids they needed to make sure that all of the sides were the exact same size and that would require math or geometry to make a 3D figure like a pyramid.
