A triangular-based prism has five flat faces: two triangular faces at the top and bottom, and three rectangular faces connecting the corresponding sides of the triangles. The triangular faces are parallel to each other, while the rectangular faces form the sides of the prism.
A cylinder has 2 flat, parallel faces.
Yes.
No, a prism cannot have curved sides. A prism is a polyhedron with two parallel and congruent polygonal bases connected by lateral faces that are parallelograms. The lateral faces of a prism are always flat, planar surfaces that are perpendicular to the bases. Curved sides would not meet the definition of a prism.
All the faces of a triangular prism must be flat. So finding them should not be too difficult!
No, a sphere is not a prism. A prism is a polyhedron with two parallel and congruent faces called bases, and all other faces are parallelograms. A sphere, on the other hand, is a three-dimensional geometric shape with all points on its surface equidistant from its center, with no faces, edges, or vertices. In essence, a sphere is a curved surface while a prism is a polyhedron with flat faces.
The flat surfaces on a pyramid are called faces. A pyramid has one base and triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex. On a cube or rectangular prism, the flat surfaces are called faces as well. But unlike a pyramid, a cube has six square faces, while a rectangular prism has two rectangular bases and four rectangular faces.
A prism has no curved surfaces. It has 5 or more flat faces.
A cylinder has 2 opposite parallel flat faces
The flat surfaces of all polyhedra are called faces and a rectangular prism is simply one kind of polyhedron.
A flat square has 4 faces.
