Question

I'm doing an activity on a pyramid with a square base. Can someone please help me with this question?

Answer 1

List the number of faces, vertices, and edges of the polyhedron. Describe their relationship to the two-dimensional base polygon.

Answer 2

ok... how many faces of a square based pyramid..?

Answer 3

5

Answer 4

how many edges and vertices

Answer 5

8 edges.
and 5 vertices

Answer 6

so the square base has 4 vertices and 4 edges... and 1 vertex to form the pyramid and you double the number of edges.


Also for polyhedra there is Eulers Formula

Faces + vertices = edges + 2

5 + 5 = 8 + 2

Answer 7

Is that for the part where they ask to describe the relationship?

Answer 8

?
