They are square pyramids. They have 4 faces. The 3 lateral faces are triangles, and the 4th face is a square base. Each pyramid has 6 vertices and 8 edges. The 3 lateral faces meet at a single point, or apex.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

They are square pyramids. They have 5 faces. The 4 lateral faces are triangles, and the 5th face is a square base. Each pyramid has 5 vertices and 8 edges. The 4 lateral faces meet at a single point, or apex.

Attributes of square pyramids:

• Faces: 5 (1 square base and 4 triangular lateral faces)
• Vertices: 5
• Edges: 8
• The 4 triangular faces converge at a single point known as the apex.
