5
6
10
15

Answer 1

The solid described has a pentagon as its base and 5 triangular faces that join the vertices of the pentagon to a single point (the apex).

To determine the total number of faces:
- The base is a pentagon, which accounts for 1 face.
- There are 5 triangular faces.

Adding these together:
1 (pentagon) + 5 (triangles) = 6 faces in total.

So, the solid has **6 faces**.
