Question

What is the total number of edges, vertices, and faces in a square pyramid ?

• A. 8, 3, 5
• B. 6, 6, 6
• C. 6, 4, 8
• D. 8, 5, 5

Answer 1

The correct option is D 8, 5, 5

• In any geometric solid that is composed of flat surfaces, each flat surface is called a face, so square pyramid has 5 faces as shown below in the figure.
• A point where two or more edges meet is known as Vertex. So square pyramid has 5 vertices.
• An edge is a particular type of line segment joining two faces in an object, so a square pyramid has 8 edges.
