Question

Identify the face, edge, and vertex of the triangular prism. Enter 1 for the face, 2 for the edge, and 3 for the vertex.(2 points)

1 answer

In a triangular prism:

  • Face: A triangular prism has 5 faces (2 triangular faces and 3 rectangular faces). For identification, you can enter 1 for a face.
  • Edge: A triangular prism has 9 edges (3 edges on each triangular face and 3 connecting edges between the triangular faces). For identification, you can enter 2 for an edge.
  • Vertex: A triangular prism has 6 vertices (3 vertices on each triangular face). For identification, you can enter 3 for a vertex.

So, the identification is as follows:

  • Face: 1
  • Edge: 2
  • Vertex: 3
