Question

How many edges, faces, and vertices triangular prism have

?

Accepted Answer

We have to find the number of edges, faces and vertices the triangular prism have.

We know that,

A triangular prism is a $3 D$ polyhedron, made up of two triangular bases and three rectangular sides. Triangular prism is as shown below.

A face of the shape means the flat surface. Edges are the lines where two faces meet. Vertices(or corners) are where two or more edges meet.

By observing the above figure, we can say that there are $5$ faces, $9$ edges and $6$ corners in the given shape.

Here, the faces of the above figure are $ABCF, AFDE, BCDE, ABE, FCD$ and the corners of the above figure are $A, B, C, D, E,$ and $F$ and the edges of the above figure are $AB, BC, CF, AF, AE, ED, EB, DC, DF$ .

So, the triangular prism has $5$ faces, $6$ vertices and $9$ edges.

Hence, the required answer is given above.
