Edges = 3 x number of sides in end of prism
For example, a hexagonal prism would have 3 x 6 = 18 edges since there are 6 sides to a hexagon.
It is triple the number of edges on one base.
the formula is (vertices+faces)- 2= edges
number of edges of a n-sided (n>2) prism is 3n. In this case, 30.
there are 5 faces and 6 edges
50
There are twelve edges in a rectangular prism.
for any prism , number of ___ + number of vertices = number of edges + ___
The number of edges of the base of a prism can be used to calculate the total number of edges by first determining the number of edges on one base. For example, a rectangular prism has 4 edges on its base. Then, multiply this number by 2 to account for the top and bottom bases. Finally, add the number of edges around the sides of the prism, which is the same as the number of edges on the base. So, in total, the number of edges of a prism can be calculated as 2 times the number of edges on the base plus the number of edges around the sides.
A triangular prism has 5 faces, 9 edges and 6 vertices

It is triple the number of edges on one base.
Oh, isn't that a happy little question! Let's think about it together. A prism has 2 bases and the same number of edges as the number of sides on those bases, plus the number of edges connecting the corresponding vertices on the bases. So, a prism can't have seven more edges than vertices because the number of edges is determined by the number of sides on the bases and the number of vertices.
A prism with an n-sided base will have 2n vertices, n + 2 faces, and 3n edges. A pentagonal prism has 15 edges.
the formula is (vertices+faces)- 2= edges
It is three times the number of sides on a base of the prism.
