alleryA pyramid has an n-sided base (n ≥ 3). Which counts its vertices and edges?
An + 1 vertices; 2n edges
B2n vertices; 3n edges
Cn + 1 vertices; n edges
Dn vertices; 2n edges
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. n + 1 vertices; 2n edges
There are n base vertices plus the apex, and n base edges plus n edges to the apex.
