How many sides does a pentagonal pyramid have?

Published in Geometry 1 min read

A pentagonal pyramid has 6 sides.

A pentagonal pyramid is a three-dimensional geometric shape with a pentagonal base and five triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex or vertex. Therefore:

  • It has one pentagonal face (the base).
  • It has five triangular faces (the lateral sides).

Adding these together, we get 1 + 5 = 6 faces or sides.
