I would agree that this is not first grade math at all. The only thing that I could come up with is a cube. I didn't learn anything like this when I was in first grade.
Remember that a vertex can be the point opposite the base.
So what is a triangular pyramid (4 sides) which is sitting on its point? 4 sides, 3 vertexes
This is 4th grade math.
To determine what shape has 4 sides and 3 vertices, let's break it down.
First, we need to understand what a vertex is. In geometry, a vertex is a point where two or more lines or curves meet. It is also known as a corner or an angle point.
Next, we can think about the possibilities for a shape with 4 sides and 3 vertices.
A triangle, which is a common shape with 3 sides and 3 vertices, doesn't fit the criteria because it has 3 sides instead of 4.
A quadrilateral, a shape with 4 sides, could potentially meet the criteria. However, a typical quadrilateral would have 4 vertices since each corner is formed where two sides meet.
So based on the criteria of having 4 sides and 3 vertices, there is no specific shape that fits this description in traditional geometry. It's possible that this could refer to a non-standard or irregular shape, but without additional information, it cannot be definitively identified.
