The correct response regarding the pyramids of Giza 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.

Explanation:

  • Square pyramids have a square base and four triangular faces that converge at a single apex.
  • A square pyramid consists of 5 faces in total, 4 triangular and 1 square.
  • It has 5 vertices (one at each corner of the square and one at the apex) and 8 edges (4 edges of the square base and 4 edges connecting the base to the apex).
