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

5 answers

To find the number of triangular bases, we need to count the number of square pyramids and pentagonal pyramids.

From the given information, we know that there are 3 square pyramids and 2 pentagonal pyramids.

Each square pyramid has 1 triangular base.
Each pentagonal pyramid also has 1 triangular base.

So, the total number of triangular bases is 3 (from square pyramids) + 2 (from pentagonal pyramids) = 5.

Therefore, Jayla sees 5 triangular bases on her trip to Egypt.
5 didn't work for me
Apologies for the confusion. Let's reassess the situation.

A square pyramid has 1 triangular base, and a pentagonal pyramid has 1 pentagonal base.

Out of the 3 square pyramids, none have a pentagonal base.
Out of the 2 pentagonal pyramids, all have a pentagonal base.

Therefore, there are no triangular bases among the square pyramids, and there are 2 triangular bases among the pentagonal pyramids.

So, Jayla sees a total of 2 triangular bases on her trip to Egypt.
that's incorrect
Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's solve the problem correctly this time.

A square pyramid has 1 triangular base, and a pentagonal pyramid has 1 pentagonal base.

Given that Jayla sees 3 square pyramids and 2 pentagonal pyramids, let's determine the number of triangular bases.

The 3 square pyramids each have 1 triangular base, so the total number of triangular bases from the square pyramids is 3.

The 2 pentagonal pyramids each have 1 pentagonal base, but we are interested in the number of triangular bases. Therefore, there are no additional triangular bases from the pentagonal pyramids.

In total, Jayla sees 3 triangular bases - all from the square pyramids.
