The correct Answer is:
To find the number of faces, edges, and vertices of a rectangular prism, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Faces**: - A rectangular prism has flat surfaces called faces. - For a rectangular prism, there are 6 faces: - 2 faces are the top and bottom (the bases). - 4 faces are the front, back, left, and right sides. - **Total Faces = 6**. 2. **Identify the Vertices**: - Vertices are the corners where the edges meet. - A rectangular prism has 8 vertices: - Each corner of the prism counts as a vertex. - **Total Vertices = 8**. 3. **Identify the Edges**: - Edges are the line segments where two faces meet. - A rectangular prism has 12 edges: - Each face contributes to the edges, and there are 4 edges on the top face, 4 on the bottom face, and 4 vertical edges connecting the top and bottom faces. - **Total Edges = 12**. 4. **Summarize the Results**: - Faces: 6 - Vertices: 8 - Edges: 12 ### Final Answer: The number of faces, edges, and vertices of a rectangular prism is **6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices**. ---
