The figure is a square pyramid. It is made with a square on the bottom and 4 triangles meeting at a vertex perpindicular to the square. The square has 1 face, the 4 triangles each have one face making 5 faces. The edges are made where the triangles meet each other and where they each meet the square. There are four vertices at the corners of the square and the one at the top of the pyramid.
An octagonal pyramid has eight triangles on an octagonal base. An octahedron can also be made by putting a square pyramid on another inverted square pyramid. This shape has just eight triangles and no others.
a tetrahedron is made of four triangles and has 4 vertices.
Polyhedrons are three-dimensional shapes with flat faces, straight edges, and sharp corners, known as vertices. Examples of polyhedrons include cubes, pyramids, prisms, and dodecahedrons. These shapes have a closed surface and are made up of polygons, which are two-dimensional shapes with straight sides.
1. a square is made up of two triangles because if you draw a square and draw a diagonal line from right to left or left to right in the middle you will see how two triangles make a square.all sides should be of same length and all bond angles should be 90 in a square.
