Question

look at the shape.
pick all the ways to describe the shape.
the shape has 5 edges.
the shape has 1 face shaped like a square.
the shape has 7 vertices.

Explanation:

Identify the 3D shape

The given shape is a square pyramid (a pyramid with a square base and four triangular faces meeting at a single apex).

Count the faces, edges, and vertices

• Faces: 1 square base + 4 triangular lateral faces = 5 faces.
• Edges: 4 base edges + 4 lateral edges = 8 edges.
• Vertices: 4 base vertices + 1 apex = 5 vertices.

Evaluate the given statements

• "The shape has 5 edges." -> Incorrect (it has 8 edges).
• "The shape has 1 face shaped like a square." -> Correct (the base is a square).
• "The shape has 7 vertices." -> Incorrect (it has 5 vertices).

Answer:

• The shape has 5 edges.
• The shape has 1 face shaped like a square. (Correct answer)
• The shape has 7 vertices.
