Question

The base of a pyramid has n sides.
write an expression for the number of faces of the pyramid

Answer 1

In general, if the pyramid has 'x' sides, then it will have 'x' lateral faces. Total Number of Faces = Number of Base Faces + Number of Lateral Faces. Total Number of Faces = 2 + x. So the formula is F=x%2B2 where "x" is the number of sides that the pyramid has and "F" is the total number of faces.
