Answer:

We have 300 edges and 200 vertices

Explanation:

A prism is basically a 2D shape which extends into three dimensions. Thus, it has two end faces, and one face for each side on the original shape.

In addition to the two 100-sided polygons at top and bottom, the prism will also have 100 rectangular faces.

We will solve this by Euler’s formula which ks:

V - E + F = 2

where;

V is the number of vertices (corners),

E is the number of edges

F is the number of faces (of any polyhedron).

Number of vertices is 100 surrounding the top while it's 100 at the bottom. So total V = 100 + 100 = 200 .

The number of edges is 100 at the top, and 100 at the bottom. Also an additional 100 separating the hundred vertical faces.

Total number of edges is;

E = 100 + 100 + 100 = 300.

Thus, we have 300 edges and 200 vertices
