Question

How many edges does a hexagonal pyramid have?

Answer 1

7 faces - 6 sides and a base.
7 vertices - 6 around he base and 1 at the apex
14 edges = 7 around the base and one for each vertex joined to the apex.

Answer 2

thanks alot!

Answer 3

welcome :)

Answer 4

edges of hexagonal pyramid... i don't think there's 14 edges...

Answer 5

than how many??

Answer 6

since the base has 6 sides, there are 6 edges along the base. the other edges would come from each vertex of the hexagon leading up to the apex of the pyramid... how many vertices does a hexagon have?

Answer 7

6 vertices

Answer 8

let's do a simple case...
if the base was triangular, there would be 3 edges from the base, and 3 edges leading up to the apex of the pyramid for a total of 6 edges.

if the base was square, there would be 4 edges from the base, and 4 edges leading up to the apex of the pyramid for a total of 8 edges...

Answer 9

since the base is hexagonal (a hexagon), there would be 6 edges along the perimeter of the base and 6 more from each vertex along the base leading up to the apex of the pyramid.

Answer 10

would the answer be 19 edges???

Answer 11

for my question.

Answer 12

no... not 19 edges...

Answer 13

12??
