How many triangular bases are there among 3 sqaure pyramids and 2 pentagonal pyramids that jayla sees on her trip to egypt?

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we first need to understand the bases of the pyramids mentioned:

1. A square pyramid has a square base.
2. A pentagonal pyramid has a pentagonal base.

Jayla sees:

• 3 square pyramids
• 2 pentagonal pyramids

Now, we need to determine the number of triangular bases among these pyramids.

Since neither the square pyramids nor the pentagonal pyramids have triangular bases, we conclude that:

• Square pyramids contribute 0 triangular bases.
• Pentagonal pyramids also contribute 0 triangular bases.

Therefore, the total number of triangular bases from the pyramids Jayla sees is:

\[ 0 + 0 = 0 \]

Thus, the number of triangular bases among the pyramids is 0.
