7.[–/1 Points]DETAILSALEXGEOM7 9.1.004.MY NOTESASK YOUR TEACHERConsider the triangular prism shown. A triangular prism is shown.(a)How many vertices does it have? (b)How many edges (lateral edges plus base edges) does it have? (c)How many faces (lateral faces plus bases) does it have?

Answer 1

Step 1

Vertices in shapes are the points where two or more line segments or edges meet (like a corner). The singular of vertices is vertex.]

A)

`The\text{ triangular prism has 6 vertices}`

The edge is the side of a polygon or a line segment where two faces of a solid figure meet.

B)

`The\text{ triangle prism has 9 edges}`

A prism is a 3-dimensional shape with two identical shapes facing each other. These identical shapes are called “bases”. The bases can be a triangle, square, rectangle or any other polygon. Other faces of a prism are parallelograms or rectangles.

C)

`The\text{ triangular prism has 5 faces}`
