Rectangular prisms have:

• 6 faces • 12 edges • 8 vertices • edges that are not all the same length

Triangular prisms have:

• 5 faces • 2 triangular faces • 3 rectangular faces

Pentagonal prisms have:

• 7 faces • 2 pentagonal faces • 5 rectangular faces • 15 edges • 10 vertices

Hexagonal prisms have:

• 8 faces • 2 hexagonal faces • 6 rectangular faces • 18 edges • 12 vertices

Octagonal prisms have:

• 10 faces • 2 octagonal faces • 8 rectangular faces • 24 edges • 16 vertices

Square Pyramid

A square pyramid consists of one square base and three triangular faces. In other words, it has 8 edges, 5 vertices, and 4 faces. Observe the square pyramid shown below to understand its shape.

Triangular Pyramid

A triangular pyramid has 4 faces, 6 edges, and 4 vertices. This kind of pyramid can also be called a tetrahedron. Observe the triangular pyramid shown below to understand its shape.

Pentagonal Pyramid

A pentagonal pyramid is one that has its base shaped like a pentagon, with the rest of the faces as triangles. This pyramid has 6 faces, 6 vertices, and 10 edges. Observe the following pentagonal pyramid for a better understanding of its shape.
