the base of a pyramid has n sides
write an expression for the number of faces on the pyramid


Sagot :

Answer: The expression for number of faces of a pyramid =1+n

Step-by-step explanation:

A Pyramid is a polyhedron or a three dimensional shape having a polygon base and all lateral faces are triangles .

Its base describe the number of other faces of it.

For example a triangular pyramid has a triangular base which gives rise to 3 lateral faces , and a rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base which give rise to 4 lateral faces and so on.....

So the total number of faces in a pyramid = base + lateral faces

If a pyramid has n sides therefore it give rise to n lateral faces such that

The total number of faces in a pyramid= 1+n .
