To find the number of lateral edges of a 50-gonal pyramid, we first need to understand the properties of a 50-gon (a polygon with 50 sides).
A polygon with n sides has n vertices and n edges. In a pyramid, all the sides of the polygon are connected to a common vertex (the apex of the pyramid), except for the base.
In a 50-gonal pyramid, the base has 50 edges. Since the base is not considered a lateral face, we can exclude these edges from counting as lateral edges. Therefore, a 50-gonal pyramid has 50 - 1 = 49 lateral edges.
To find the number of lateral faces in a 50-gonal pyramid, we have to consider the number of faces that are not the base. A pyramid always has one base and n lateral faces. Therefore, a 50-gonal pyramid has 1 base and 50 - 1 = 49 lateral faces.
In summary, a 50-gonal pyramid has 49 lateral edges and 49 lateral faces.
