Does a pentangular prism have a perpendicular face?

The two bases are usually perpendicular to the lateral faces.


How many pairs of perpendicular faces does a square based pyramid have?

Each lateral face is perpendicular to its lateral neighbours so that makes 4 pairs. In addition, opposite lateral faces may be perpendicular, making 6 pairs in all.


What are the difference between a right prism and an oblique prism?

In a right prism, the lateral sides are perpendicular to the bases and so all of them are rectangular.In an oblique prism, the lateral sides are not perpendicular to the bases so that some of them (at least) are non-rectangular parallelograms.In a right prism, the lateral sides are perpendicular to the bases and so all of them are rectangular.In an oblique prism, the lateral sides are not perpendicular to the bases so that some of them (at least) are non-rectangular parallelograms.In a right prism, the lateral sides are perpendicular to the bases and so all of them are rectangular.In an oblique prism, the lateral sides are not perpendicular to the bases so that some of them (at least) are non-rectangular parallelograms.In a right prism, the lateral sides are perpendicular to the bases and so all of them are rectangular.In an oblique prism, the lateral sides are not perpendicular to the bases so that some of them (at least) are non-rectangular parallelograms.

What is a lateral face in geometry?

Lateral means side.


Is a person face down in the lateral position?

No, the face-down position is prone, face up is supine, lateral is a side-lying position. Lateral refers to one side or the other. Those in a lateral position will be referred to as lying in a left lateral or right lateral recumbent position.


What is lateral faces?

The lateral face for a prism or pyramid is any edge or face which is not part of a base.


How many perpendicular faces does a pentagonal prism have?

A pentagonal prism has only 7 faces. Each of the five lateral faces is perpendicular to the two bases: that makes 10 pairs of mutually perpendicular faces. In general, the lateral faces are not perpendicular, but four of them may be perpendicular to one or more of its neighbors - at most 4 more pairs. Still not 25!


A lateral edge of a pyramid is always perpendicular to the base?

I have absolutely no idea whatsoever.
