Will there always be more edges in a shape than there are vertices? Why?
Yes, because there will always be edges that connect the vertices/bases together in prisms and in pyramids all the same number of connecting edges lead to only one point/vertex so there will always be less vertices.
What are the 3 shapes with curved surfaces?
Spheres, cones, cylinders
