Detailed Solution

Concept-Pyramids have been found to be polyhedra with three or more triangular faces that intersect the base and points above the base. This point is called the apex. So, draw a quadrangular pyramid and its mesh structure to find its face.
A quadrangular pyramid is known to be a polyhedron with a square base and a triangular face. In most cases, students forget to add a base and only remember the four triangular faces. Therefore, you need to draw and clearly visualize the shapes without missing the bottom or sides. A 3D shape mesh is a pattern created when the surface of a 3D shape is laid out and usually represents each side of the shape.
The quadrangular pyramid mesh is shown below. You can clearly see that the quadrangular pyramid has one square and four triangular faces. Question Image
