Which 3-dimensional shape has 5 faces, 8 edges, and 6 vertices?

Answer 1

No such 3-dimensional shape.

In a 3-dimensional shape, we always have that sum of number of faces and number of vertices is two more than number of edges. Here sum of number of faces and vertices is #11#, which is #3# more than number of edges. Hence no such 3-dimensional shape.
