Explanation:

On any 3D polyhedron, Faces (F) are the flat 2D surfaces, Edges (E) are the lines where two faces meet, and Vertices (V) are the corner points where edges meet. You can check your count using Euler’s formula: F + V − E = 2.

A prism has the same cross-section all the way through its length (e.g. cuboid, triangular prism, cylinder), whereas a pyramid has a polygon base with triangular faces meeting at a single apex point at the top.

Example 1: Write down the faces, edges, and vertices of a triangular prism.

• Faces: 2 triangles + 3 rectangles = 5

• Edges: 3 + 3 + 3 = 9; Vertices: 3 + 3 = 6

Example 2: Write down the faces, edges, and vertices of a square-based pyramid.

• Faces: 1 square base + 4 triangles = 5

• Edges: 4 + 4 = 8; Vertices: 4 + 1 apex = 5
