To find out how many triangular bases there are among the 3 square pyramids and 2 pentagonal pyramids, we first need to identify the shapes of the bases for each type of pyramid.
- A square pyramid has a square base.
- A pentagonal pyramid has a pentagonal base.
Since neither the square pyramids nor the pentagonal pyramids have triangular bases, we can conclude that:
- The number of triangular bases among the 3 square pyramids is 0.
- The number of triangular bases among the 2 pentagonal pyramids is 0.
Adding these together:
\[ 0 \text{ (from square pyramids)} + 0 \text{ (from pentagonal pyramids)} = 0 \]
Thus, the total number of triangular bases among the pyramids Jayla sees is 0.
