Question from sheila, a parent: what is the relationship between the number of faces and the number of edges of a triangular pyramid ? |
Sheila,
I think you are looking for is Euler's Formula which states that for any convex polyhedron
V - E + F = 2
where V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges and F is the number of faces.
