After the group presentations, the teacher will highlight the following concepts:
Prisms
Reference:
● As mentioned, the faces at both ends of a prism have the same size and [Link]
shape. The remaining (lateral) faces are parallelograms. The two faces at content/uploads/2023/06/Rectangula
both ends of triangular and hexagonal prisms are triangles and [Link]
hexagons, respectively. The bases of cubes and rectangular prisms
(cuboids) are square and rectangular, respectively.
● There are other examples of prisms, i.e., octagonal prisms, etc.

● It can be noticed that prisms are usually named after their bases. In the

5
 case of cube, it is a special type/case of square prisms.
● For a prism with the number of sides of both bases “n,” we can
compute the number of faces by using n + 2, for vertices is 2n, and for
edges is 3n.

For instance, for pentagonal prism whose bases both have 5 sides:
Faces :5+2=7
Vertices : 5 x 2 = 10
Edges : 5 x 3 = 15

Pyramids
● Pyramids have a flat polygon base and all its other (lateral) faces are
triangles.
● The faces of a pyramid, except the bottom face, all join to a point at one
end of the pyramid (apex).
● Another example of a pyramid is the tetrahedron. Tetrahedron is a
triangular pyramid with all of its sides equal. It is the only pyramid in
which any face can be considered the base and any vertex as apex.
● Other examples include octagonal pyramids, heptagonal pyramids, etc.

● Like prisms, pyramids are also named after their base.

● For a pyramid with the number of sides of its base “n,” we can compute
the number of faces by using n + 1, for vertices n + 1 also, and for edges
2n.

For instance, for pentagonal pyramid whose base has 5 sides:

Faces :5+1=6
Vertices :5+1=6
Edges : 5 x 2 = 10
