Answer: The expression for number of faces of a pyramid =1+n
Explanation:
A Pyramid is a polyhedron or a three dimensional shape having a polygon base and all lateral faces are triangles .
Its base describe the number of other faces of it.
For example a triangular pyramid has a triangular base which gives rise to 3 lateral faces , and a rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base which give rise to 4 lateral faces and so on.....
So the total number of faces in a pyramid = base + lateral faces
If a pyramid has n sides therefore it give rise to n lateral faces such that
The total number of faces in a pyramid= 1+n .
