How many triangular bases are there among 3 square

pyramids and 2 pentagonal pyramids that Jayla sees on
her trip to Egypt? (1 point)

1 answer

To determine the total number of triangular bases among the given 3 square pyramids and 2 pentagonal pyramids, we can analyze each type of pyramid:

  1. Square Pyramids: A square pyramid has a square base. Therefore, it has 0 triangular bases.

  2. Pentagonal Pyramids: A pentagonal pyramid has a pentagonal base. This type of pyramid also has 0 triangular bases.

Hence, when we consider both types of pyramids, we have:

  • Square Pyramids: 3 pyramids × 0 triangular bases = 0 triangular bases
  • Pentagonal Pyramids: 2 pyramids × 0 triangular bases = 0 triangular bases

Now, adding these together gives:

0 (from square pyramids) + 0 (from pentagonal pyramids) = 0 triangular bases.

Therefore, the total number of triangular bases among the pyramids that Jayla sees is 0.
