**Polyhedra Identification**

1. **Identify each of the following polyhedra. If a polyhedron can be described in more than one way, give as many names as possible.**

   **a.** The first polyhedron is an elongated shape composed of four triangular faces and one quadrilateral base, suggesting it is a type of prism.

   **b.** The second polyhedron is a cube, identifiable by its six equal square faces, twelve equal edges, and eight vertices.

   **c.** The third polyhedron consists of four triangular faces that converge to a single point above the square base, forming a square pyramid.
