The vertices refer to the points where to sides of a shape come into contact. So for example, a triangle has three vertices because its sides meet at three points. Each polygon also has the same number of vertices as sides (pentagon = 5 vertices, etc.)

Do polygons have to have the same number of sides and vertices?
Yes, polygons have the same number of sides and vertices.
How are triangles and parallelograms similar?
They are polygons. They have fewer than 5 sides. They have fewer than 5 vertices.
How many faces vertices and edges does a rectangle have?
Rectangles are plane (2-dimensional) polygons. Only solid (3-dimensional) polyhedrons have faces.
How does a cube have 8 vertices?
vertices is just a more complicated way of saying corners So if you count all the corners of a cube they equal 8
Cylinder faces edges vertices?
Euler's definition do not apply to curved solids. faces must be polygons; they cannot be circles. using the conventional definitions of faces, edges and vertices, This question causes frustration for teachers and students. Euler's definitions of edges, faces and vertices only apply to polyhedra. Faces must be polygons, meaning comprised of all straight sides, edges must be straight, and vertices must arise from the meeting of straight edges. As such, a cylinder has no faces, no edges and no vertices, using the definitions as they apply to polyhedra. You need to create a different set of definitions and understandings to apply to solids with curved surfaces.
When naming polygons you can start with?
A vertex and count the number of vertices in the polygon. That is the number which will be used for naming the polygon.
Do polygons have to have the same number of sides and vertices?
Yes, polygons have the same number of sides and vertices.
Which figures have vertices?
Polygons for example
Does picks theorem work for all polygons?
Just for simple polygons with integral vertices.
How many vertices are on a pentagon?
A pentagon has 5 vertices. It is one of the few polygons that has an equal number of vertices and sides.
How many faces edges vertices does a polygon have?
Polygons have as many vertices as they have sides (edges).
Which polygons have the same number of sides as verices?
None.But all polygons have the same number of sides as vertices.
How do you count the vertices on a prism?
You count the number of vertices in the polygon that forms the base. The prism has twice as many vertices.
What shapes are in a tetrahedron?
There are points (vertices) lines (edges) and polygons (faces).
What two polygons have five vertices?
They are a regular pentagon and an irregular pentagon.
What is a vertex in angles?
It is the singular of the plural vertices relating to angles of polygons
What 2 advanced polygons have the same number of sides and vertices?
The number of sides and vertices in any polygon is always the same.
