How many triangular bases are there among three square pyramids and two pentagonal pyramids that Jayla sees on her trip to Egypt

Answer 1

To determine the number of triangular bases, we need to count the number of triangular faces present in the given pyramids.

A square pyramid has one triangular base and four triangular faces, while a pentagonal pyramid has one triangular base and five triangular faces.

Among the three square pyramids, there would be a total of 3 triangular bases.

Among the two pentagonal pyramids, there would be a total of 2 triangular bases.

Hence, Jayla would see a total of 3 + 2 = <<3+2=5>>5 triangular bases.
