Determine the correct number: The number of lateral faces on a triangular prism.

• 6

• 3

• 5

• 12

• 8

Answer explanation

A triangular prism has 3 lateral faces, one for each side of the triangular base. Therefore, the correct number of lateral faces is 3.

Determine the correct number: The number of vertices on a triangular pyramid.

• 4

• 6

• 8

• 5

• 12

Answer explanation

A triangular pyramid has 4 vertices: 3 at the base and 1 at the apex. Therefore, the correct number of vertices on a triangular pyramid is 4.

Determine the correct number: The number of edges on a rectangular prism.

• 6

• 8

• 5

• 12

• 4

Answer explanation

A rectangular prism has 12 edges: 4 along the length, 4 along the width, and 4 along the height. Therefore, the correct number of edges is 12.

Determine the correct number: The number of vertices on a pentagonal prism.

• 12

• 5

• 8

• 6

• 10

Answer explanation

A pentagonal prism has 10 vertices. Each pentagon has 5 vertices, and there are 2 pentagons in a pentagonal prism, so the total number of vertices is 5*2=10.
