Which figures have congruent bases?
Prisms, regular polyhedra.
What shapes have at least two congruent parallel bases?
Prisms.
Do all prisms have congruent bases?
Yes providing the cross section remains the same
What solid figure has 2 parallel bases that are congruent such as rectangle and hexagon?
Prisms.Prisms.Prisms.Prisms.
Are two prisms with equal bases always similar?
No. They may have a different height, or slant up at a different angles.
How are cones and cylinders similar to pyramids and prisms?
cones are similar to pyramids because they come to a point, also known as the vertex. Cones and pyramids are also conic. Cylinders are similar to prisms because their base, no matter what shape, will translate (slide) all the way up the middle to the top. Basically, their 2 bases should always always always be congruent. Prisms and cylinders are also cylindric.
Which figures have congruent bases?
Prisms, regular polyhedra.
What shapes have at least two congruent parallel bases?
Prisms.
Do right prisms have six congruent faces?
No. Their "bases" are at right angles to the rectangles connecting the bases.
Do all prisms have congruent bases?
Yes providing the cross section remains the same

Prisms.Prisms.Prisms.Prisms.

No. They may have a different height, or slant up at a different angles.
How are the bases of a cylinder and a prism similar?
The cylinder and the prisms bases are similar because its a flat surface.
Do triangular prisms always have two bases that are equilateral?
No, Triangular prisms have two bases that are triangular but these need not be equilateral.
What solid figure with two congruent polygons that are bases connected with lateral faces that are rectangles?
They are prisms.
What are two congruent parallel bases?
When a base is congruent it is the same shape and size, and parallel is when they will never touch. Therefore, on a square the top and bottom are congruent parallel bases. Some other examples are: Cylinders, rectangular prisms, and of course parallelograms.
How prism being classified?
Prisms are classified according to the shape of the two congruent and parallel plane shapes which form its bases.
