My niece is doing this Math crossword puzzles and she need help on this problem. Would appreciate the help. ThanksWhat do you call ';a space figure with five or more faces. Its two bases are congruent and parallel?
I hope you are talking in 3 dimensions, only.
Ther is a nice formula after you count the number of faces (F), edges (E) %26amp; vertices (V) or points
F - E+ V = 2.
It is called Schlafli's formula.
For 3D, a minimum of 4 vertices is required. Simplest, tetrahedron has 4 each of faces %26amp; vertices; so it has 6 edges. For a cube it is F=6, E=12, V=8.
For a triangular prism (cube is a rectangular prism too), F=5,E=9,V=6.
What do you call ';a space figure with five or more faces. Its two bases are congruent and parallel?
A wretched beasty.
Sounds like a prism to me.
