Question

A prism has a base that is a 12-sided polygon.

The prism has_____vertices.

A) 24
B) 12
C) 6

Answer 1

if i am correct it would be A cuz you have 12 side so it would double the verticles

Answer 2

Answer: the correct option is (A) 24.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the number of vertices of a prism if its base is a 12-sided polygon.

We know that

if the base of a prism is an n-sided polygon, then the prism has 2n vertices.

For the given prism, the number of sides of the base is given by

n = 12.

Therefore, the number of vertices of the polygon will be

`V=2n=2*12=24.`

Thus, the prism has 24 vertices.

Option (A) is CORRECT.
