To find the total number of triangular bases among the given shapes, we need to analyze the bases of the specified pyramids.
1. **Square Pyramid**: A square pyramid has a square base. Therefore, it does not have a triangular base.
- Number of square pyramids: 3
- Triangular bases from square pyramids: \(3 \times 0 = 0\)
2. **Pentagonal Pyramid**: A pentagonal pyramid has a pentagonal base. Therefore, it also does not have a triangular base.
- Number of pentagonal pyramids: 2
- Triangular bases from pentagonal pyramids: \(2 \times 0 = 0\)
Now, we add the triangular bases from both types of pyramids:
\[
\text{Total triangular bases} = 0 + 0 = 0
\]
Thus, the total number of triangular bases among the 3 square pyramids and 2 pentagonal pyramids is **0**.
