<h2><u>PENTAGONAL PYRAMID</u></h2><h3>Answer:</h3>
Faces = 6
Edges = 10
Vertices = 6
<h3>Explanation:</h3>A <u>face</u> is any of the flat surfaces of a solid object, meaning that the pentagonal pyramid has got 6 faces in total; 5 triangles, and 1 pentagon (5+1=6)
An <u>edge</u> is a line segment where two faces meet, and they also join each vertex with another. So if we look at the base of the pentagonal pyramid (which is a pentagon) we can see that it has got 5 edges, and then, when we look at the edges that connect the triangles with eachother, there are 5 more edges, so 5+5=10.
A <u>vertex</u> is where two or more line segments (edges) meet. The base (pentagon) has 5 vertices, and at the top, where the 5 triangles' edges connect, there is another vertex (just 1). So 5+1=6.
