FAQs

How do you determine the number of faces, vertices, and edges for each 3D shape?

Use the provided diagrams to count faces, then count vertices where edges meet, and count edges along the boundaries of the solid.

What are the multiple-choice options for the question about which shape has more faces?

The choices shown are A. sphere, B. triangular prism, and C. They both have the same number of faces.

Where can the correct answers be found?

The document includes an “Answer Key” section listing the correct face, vertex, and edge counts for items 1 through 6.
