How many faces, vertices and edges does a square base pyramid have?
Answer:
A square base pyramid has \(5\) faces, \(5\) vertices and \(8\) edges.
Explanation:
A square base pyramid has \(5\) faces, \(5\) vertices and \(8\) edges. This can be checked from following figure.
In fact in any polyhedron, if there are \(F\) faces, \(V\) vertices and \(E\) edges, we always have \(F+V=E+2\).
This equation is known as Euler’s polyhedron formula.
