Well, at least in Polyhedrons, a Vertex is the point at the tip of a pyramid, apex is at the end of the cone.

An apex is the top of a pyramid or cone. Technically, the apex is a vertex due to its vertex-like corner. Prisms DO NOT have apexes. They only have vertexes because they do not rise up like a pyramid.

----------------------------------------------------------------

An apex is usually pointed end of an object; the tip; a point of culmination.

A vertex is usually the highest point or in mathematics , the point at which the sides of an angle intersect; the point on a triangle or pyramid opposite to and farthest away from its base.

Some apexes may also be vertices.

What is the difference between standard form and vertex form?

The difference between standard form and vertex form is the standard form gives the coefficients(a,b,c) of the different powers of x. The vertex form gives the vertex 9hk) of the parabola as part of the equation.


What shape has a vertex that is also an apex?

A shape that has a vertex that is also an apex is a pyramid. In a pyramid, the apex is the topmost point where all the triangular faces converge, while the base can be any polygon. The apex serves as the vertex of the pyramid, distinguishing it from other vertices that are part of the base.
