Goal: Describe 3-D shapes by their different attributes.
Let’s practice counting vertices on 3-D shapes, as we did when we helped Neda and Tanya! Click on each 3-D shape to learn more about it and to count its vertices.
A triangular prism has 5 faces and 9 edges. How many vertices does a triangular prism have?
6 vertices
A cylinder has 2 faces and 2 edges. How many vertices does a cylinder have?
0 vertices. There are no corners on a cylinder.
A rectangular prism has 6 faces and 12 edges. How many vertices does a rectangular prism have?
8 vertices
A cone has 1 face and 0 edges. How many vertices does a cone have?
1 vertex
