Triangular Pyramid – Faces Edges and Vertices



What is a Pyramid?    

A pyramid is a 3 dimensional shape, with a single polygon shape base, and flat triangular sloping sides, that meet at the common top point called the apex. 




All the side faces of the pyramids are always triangles. However the base of the pyramids can be different polygon shaped base. 


Pyramids have one base and pyramids are often described based on the shape of the base of pyramids.

There are several types of pyramids.

All the side faces of the pyramids are always triangles. 


There are several types of pyramids. 

A square pyramid is a pyramid with a square base.

A triangular pyramid is a pyramid with a triangular base.

A hexagonal pyramid is a pyramid with hexagonal base.

Different types of pyramids may have different numbers of faces, edges and vertices.


The video above shows the faces, edges and vertices of a triangular pyramid.



What is a Triangular Pyramid?

A triangular pyramid is a pyramid with a triangular base. Since the side faces of pyramids are always triangular so all the faces of a triangular pyramid are triangles.





How many faces does a Triangular pyramid have?

A triangular pyramid is a pyramid with a triangular base. Since the side faces of pyramids are always triangular so all the faces of a triangular pyramid are triangles. 

A triangular pyramid has 4 triangular faces including the base. 




How many vertices does a triangular pyramid have?

A triangular pyramid has 4 vertices. 





How many edges does a triangular pyramid have?


A triangular pyramid has 6 edges.
