Which generalization about cones and pyramids is true? (1 point)

A pyramid and a cone have two vertices.
• Cones and pyramids have the same
number of faces.
Cones and pyramids have one vertex at the top.
Cones and pyramids have the same

1 answer

The statement that is true regarding cones and pyramids is:

Cones and pyramids have one vertex at the top.

Here's a brief explanation:

  • Vertices: A cone has one vertex (the tip), while a pyramid has a vertex at the top and additional vertices at its base.
  • Faces: A pyramid has a number of faces equal to the number of sides of its base, plus one more for the apex. A cone has one curved surface and a circular base.
  • Therefore, they do not have the same number of faces.

So the correct generalization is about them having one vertex at the top.
