Is base and sides in a pyramid the same?
No. The sides are always triangular, the base can be a polygon with any number of sides.
How many edges on a pyramid?
A pyramid is a generic term, used to describe a three dimensional shape with a polygonal base and triangular sides that meet at an apex above the base. The base can be a polygon with any number of sides and the number of faces, edges and vertices of a pyramid depend on this number of sides. If the base is an n-sided polygon, then the pyramid has 2n edges.
Which statement is true about the number of edges of any prism?
It is three times the number of sides on a base of the prism.
How many faces does a pyrimid have?
It all depends on what the base is. Th number of faces a pyrimad has is the number sides on the base+1. So for example, a square pyrimad (one of the most common) would have 4 +1 or 5 sides.
A pyramid has a base with n sides How many vertices does the pyramid have?
n+1 = vertices of a pyramid If: n = number of sides of the polygonal base AND a pyramid has 1 point where line segments from points of the polygonal base intersect
How many Number of sides in base does a triangular prism have?
The base has three sides.
Is base and sides in a pyramid the same?
No. The sides are always triangular, the base can be a polygon with any number of sides.
What do you notice about the number of sides on the base and the number of triangular faces?
Nothing much. A base of a cuboid has 4 sides and there are no triangular faces.
How many number of sides of base has an pentagonal pyramid?
5 sides
How is the number of pyramid related to the number of sides of the base?
because the the sides of a based form a face of a pyramid
What is the number of sides of a base for a triangular prism?
4
How is the number of sides of a pyramids base related?
5
What is the number of sides on a base of rectangular pyramid?
4
How many parallel sides does a pyramid have?
It depends on the base. If the base is an n-sided regular polygon, the pyramid will have n/2 pairs of parallel sides. The number of parallel sides when the base is irregular will depend on the exact details of the base.
How many edges on a pyramid?
A pyramid is a generic term, used to describe a three dimensional shape with a polygonal base and triangular sides that meet at an apex above the base. The base can be a polygon with any number of sides and the number of faces, edges and vertices of a pyramid depend on this number of sides. If the base is an n-sided polygon, then the pyramid has 2n edges.
What is the number of sides on base of a triangular pyramid?
The base of any pyramid is simply one side!
What do you notice about the number of edges of a prism?
It's three times the number of sides of the base.
