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

6 answers

To find the number of triangular bases, we need to determine the number of square pyramids and pentagonal pyramids and then find the number of triangular bases in each.

There are 3 square pyramids and each square pyramid has 1 triangular base. So, the square pyramids have a total of 3 triangular bases.

There are 2 pentagonal pyramids and each pentagonal pyramid also has 1 triangular base. So, the pentagonal pyramids have a total of 2 triangular bases.

Therefore, the total number of triangular bases among the 3 square pyramids and 2 pentagonal pyramids is 3 + 2 = 5. Answer: \boxed{5}.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Upon rereading the question, it is clear that the 3 square pyramids and 2 pentagonal pyramids each have a single triangular base, as the base of a pyramid is always a polygon.

Therefore, the total number of triangular bases is 3 + 2 = 5. Answer: \boxed{5}.
5 is not the answer
Apologies for the confusion. Let's break down the shapes and find the correct answer.

Among the 3 square pyramids, each pyramid has a triangular base. So, there are 3 triangular bases for the square pyramids.

Among the 2 pentagonal pyramids, each pyramid also has a triangular base. So, there are 2 triangular bases for the pentagonal pyramids.

In total, there are 3 + 2 = 5 triangular bases among the 3 square pyramids and 2 pentagonal pyramids.

Therefore, the correct answer is \boxed{5}.
the answer is 0
