How many triangular bases are there among 3 square pyramids and 2 pentagonal pyramids that Jayla sees on her trip to Egypt?(1 point)

Answer 1

To determine how many triangular bases there are among the 3 square pyramids and 2 pentagonal pyramids, we start by identifying the base shapes of each type of pyramid.

1. Square Pyramid: A square pyramid has a square base.
2. Pentagonal Pyramid: A pentagonal pyramid has a pentagonal base.

Since both the square and pentagonal pyramids do not have triangular bases, the total number of triangular bases in this scenario is:

• Square pyramids: 0 triangular bases
• Pentagonal pyramids: 0 triangular bases

Adding these together gives: 0 + 0 = 0 triangular bases.

Therefore, the answer is 0 triangular bases.
