Question 90

A triangular prism has two triangular faces joined by three rectangular ones. How many edges does it have altogether?

  1. 5 edges
  2. 6 edges
  3. 9 edgesCorrect answer
  4. 12 edges

Each triangle is drawn with three edges, and three further edges run lengthways to join one triangle to the other, so three sets of three are counted. Answering 6 gives the number of corner points instead, and a prism always carries more edges than corners.
