Which of the following shapes has 1 more vertex than that of the given shape?
Open in App
Solution
Say: Let’s find the shape with 1 more vertex by comparing the vertices of the shapes in the options.
Steps:
\(\bullet\) The given shape is a square pyramid, which has 5 vertices.
= 5 vertices
\(\bullet\) We have to find a shape with 6 vertices.
Option A: = 8 vertices
Option B: = 8 vertices
Option C: = 6 vertices
Hence, Option C is correct.
