Question

Determine the number of faces, vertices and edges of the following shape.

• A. 6 faces, 5 vertices and 8 edges
• B. 5 faces, 6 vertices and 8 edges
• C. 5 faces, 5 vertices and 9 edges
• D. 5 faces, 5 vertices and 8 edges

Answer 1

The correct option is D 5 faces, 5 vertices and 8 edges

• In any geometric solid that is composed of flat surfaces, each flat surface is called a face.
• A point where two or more edges meet is known as vertex.
• In geometry, an edge is a line segment that joins two faces in an object.
• The given figure is a square pyramid. And a square pyramid has 5 faces, 5 vertices and 8 edges.
