They are square pyramids. They have 4 faces. The 3 lateral faces are triangles, and the 4th face is a square base. Each pyramid has 6 vertices and 8 edges. The 3 lateral faces meet at a single point, or apex.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

They are square 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.

Attributes of square pyramids include:

• 5 faces: 1 square base and 4 triangular lateral faces.
• 5 vertices: 4 vertices at the base and 1 apex.
• 8 edges: 4 edges along the base and 4 edges connecting the apex to each vertex of the base.
• The lateral triangular faces meet at the apex.
