Question

2 .A prism with a square base has 6 faces and 8 vertices How many edges will it have?​

Answer 1

$\huge\underline\mathrm\blue{Answer}$

A square prism is a cuboid (a convex polyhedron) which has 6 faces out of which two end-faces are square, 4 lateral faces are rectangles. It has 12 edges out of which 4 are lateral edges, 8 edges are of end faces. It has 8 vertices out of which each square face has 4 vertices

Number of edges, E =12

Number of faces, F=6

Number of vertices, V=8

It duly satisfies Euler’s formula for convex polyhedron: F+V=E+2

6+8=12+2

14=14

Answer 2

Answer:

12 edges

Step-by-step explanation:

6 faces - 2 squares and 4 rectangles. 12 edges - 8 equal lengths forming the 2 square faces and 4 equal lengths forming the 4 rectangular faces. 8 vertices - at each vertex meet 2 short edges and 1 long edge.
