Answer 1

Explanation of blanks.

A triangular prism is a polyhedron, (three-dimensional shape) made up of two triangular bases and three rectangular sides. The two bases of the triangular prism are parallel and congruent to each other.

A triangular prism has $5$ faces, $6$ vertices and $9$ edges.

Hence the complete statement is,

Out of $\underline{5}$ faces of a triangular prism, $\underline{3}$ are rectangles and $\underline{2}$ are triangles.
