How many sets of congruent (or equal) faces are there in the net of a rectangular pyramid?(1 point)

1 answer

In the net of a rectangular pyramid, there are two sets of congruent faces. The pyramid consists of a rectangular base and four triangular lateral faces.

  • The base has one rectangular face.
  • The four triangular faces are congruent in pairs if the pyramid is a right rectangular pyramid (where the apex is directly above the center of the base).

Thus, summarizing the faces:

  • 1 rectangular face (base)
  • 2 pairs of congruent triangular faces

Overall, there are 2 sets of congruent faces: one pair of triangles and the singular rectangular base.
