Answer 2

Face: 1
Edge: 2
Vertex: 3

Answer 3

In a triangular prism, a face refers to one of the flat surfaces that make up the shape. A triangular prism has two triangular faces (top and bottom) and three rectangular faces (sides). Therefore, there are 5 faces in total.

An edge is where two faces of the prism meet. In a triangular prism, there are 9 edges – 6 along the sides where the rectangular faces meet the triangular faces, and 3 on the base where the edges of the triangles meet.

A vertex is a corner where three edges meet. In a triangular prism, there are 6 vertices – 3 on the top triangle and 3 on the bottom triangle.
