Question

Jamie has been assigned to replicate the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. What type of pyramids are these? Describe the attributes. (1 point) Responses They are triangular pyramids. They have 5 faces. The 4 lateral faces are triangles, and the 5th face is a square base. Each pyramid has 5 vertices and 8 edges. The 4 lateral faces meet at a single point, or apex. They are triangular pyramids.

Answer 1

The pyramids of Giza are classified as square pyramids. Here are the main attributes of these pyramids:

• Faces: They have 5 faces in total. There is 1 square base and 4 triangular lateral faces.
• Vertices: Each pyramid has 5 vertices—1 at the apex and 4 at the corners of the base.
• Edges: There are 8 edges in total—4 edges along the base and 4 edges that connect the base to the apex.
• Lateral Faces: The 4 lateral faces are triangles that converge at a single point, called the apex.

To sum up, the pyramids of Giza are square pyramids characterized by a square base and four triangular faces meeting at the apex.
