A solid with congruent ends and parallel sides is typically called a prism. More specifically:
🔷 Types of Solids with Congruent Ends and Parallel Sides
Prism: A solid with two congruent, parallel polygonal bases and sides that are parallelograms. Examples include:
Rectangular prism (like a box)
Triangular prism (like a tent shape)
Pentagonal prism, etc.
Cylinder: A special case where the congruent ends are circles, and the side is a curved surface. It also fits the definition of having congruent ends and parallel sides.
So depending on the shape of the ends (polygonal or circular), the solid could be a prism or a cylinder.
What else can I help you with?
What is paralellism?
parallel is when two sides are congruent in all ways and the ends will never meet at a point.
What defines a prism?
A PRISM is a solid whose side faces are parallelograms and whose ends(or bases ) are congruent parallel rectilinear figures.
A solid object whose ends are the same shape?
A solid object whose ends are the same shape is called a cylinder. In a cylinder, the two circular bases are congruent and parallel, while the curved surface connects these bases. Examples of cylinders include soda cans and pipes. Other similar solids include prisms, which have polygonal bases that are congruent and parallel.
How do you define a prism?
In optics a prism is a transparent solid body, often having triangular bases, used for dispersing light into a spectrum or for reflecting rays of light. In geometry a prism is a solid having bases or ends that are parallel, congruent polygons and sides that are parallelograms. In crystallography a prism is a form having faces parallel to the vertical axis and intersecting the horizontal axes.
What is a cylinder?
A solid figure that has 2 parallel bases that are congruent circles. A Cylinder is a solid figure described by the revolution of a rectangle about one of its sides which remains fixed. Two ends of a cylinder are the circles of same diameter. Examples include pipes, cans, and poles. cylinder?

Examples include pipes, cans, and poles.
Can a prism be of any shape?
in 3d shapes, a prism must have two congruent bases, and all of the other sides must be made of congruent rectangles. (squares are rectangles.A2. A prism is a solid with two parallel ends, and of constant cross-section between them. And normally with 90deg between the base and a side.It may be of any number of sides, and as the number of sides gets large, the shape approaches that of a cylinder.This is one item of the set of prismatoids, others of which can ignore the 90deg constraint and so on.
Does a prism always have two congruent parallel bases?
Yes, a prism always has two congruent parallel bases. These bases are identical shapes located at opposite ends of the prism, and the sides connecting them are parallelograms. This characteristic defines the prism and distinguishes it from other polyhedra. The congruence and parallelism of the bases are essential for the prism's geometric properties.
The figure formed by the intersection of a solid with a plane parallel to the base of the solid is congruent to the base if the solid is a?
The answer would be a right cylinder. A right cylinder is a cylinder that has a closed circular surface having two parallel bases on both the ends and whose elements are perpendicular to its base.
What shape has 2 pairs of parallel sides and ends in m?
a parellelagram does
A solid figure with the ends being equal and parallel circles?
cylinder
Can planes be parallel?
Yes. The opposite ends of any right prism consists of two congruent and parallel faces. Two planes are parallel if the vertical distance between them is always the same.
Why do you think that diagonals bisect each other for proving that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
The diagonals divide the quadrilateral into four sections. You can then use the bisection to prove that opposite triangles are congruent (SAS). That can then enable you to show that the alternate angles at the ends of the diagonal are equal and that shows one pair of sides is parallel. Repeat the process with the other pair of triangles to show that the second pair of sides is parallel. A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel lines is a parallelogram.
