Cylinder. Cylinders has 2 circular faces and 1 surface. ... When you wrap the surface around the circles, it becomes a cylinder with 2 edges and 0 vertices . There are no sharp, pointy bits in a cylinder!

A cylinder has 3 faces – 2 circle ones and a rectangle (if you take the top and bottom off a tin can then cut the cylinder part on the seam and flatten it out you would get a rectangle). It has 2 edges and no vertices (no corners) .
Faces, Edges and Vertices of a Cylinder
A cylinder has 2 curved edges that wrap around the circular faces on the top and bottom of the shape. A cylinder has no vertices . This is because it has only 2 edges and the 2 edges do not meet each other.
A rectangular pyramid has 5 faces. Its base is a rectangle or a square and the other 4 faces are triangles. It has 8 edges and 5 vertices .

In geometry, the pentagonal prism is a prism with a pentagonal base. It is a type of heptahedron with 7 faces, 15 edges, and 10 vertices.

Ask: Does a cylinder have any edges or vertices? (no) Why not? Students should realize that although a cylinder has two faces, the faces don’t meet, so there are no edges or vertices .
A cube has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges.
A triangular prism has 5 faces (2 triangular faces, 3 rectangular faces), 9 edges, 6 vertices, and slides and stacks.
