What is a solid formed by polygons that has two congruent bases lying in parallel planes?
A prism. The name of the prism usually reflects the polygonal shape of the bases eg triangular prism or rectangular prism.
A prism has a base with n sides How many faces does the prism have?
n+2. The sides will compose all the planes perpendicular to the two bases of the prism.
What is the altitude of a rectangular prism?
the altitude of a prism is a segment perpendicular to both bases whose endpoints are in the planes of the bases.
What is a perpendicular segment that joins the planes of the bases in a prism?
Altitude
How many bases does a prism have?
It depends on what kind of prism you mean. For example, a rectangular prism has 6 bases and a triangular prism has 5 bases. A triangular prism only has two bases.
Can a prism have two bases and four faces?
Sometimes,only because,a rectangular prism has two bases and four faces, but a triangular prism has two bases and three faces.
How many bases does a pentagon prism have?
a pentagonal prism has 2 bases
A prism will always have at least bases?
A prism will always have at least TWO bases
What characteristic names a prism?
a prism is a polyhedron with two congruent faces, called bases, that lie in parallel planes. The other faces, called lateral faces, are parellelograms formed by connecting the corresponding vertices of the bases. the segments connecting the vertices are lateral edges. the altitude, or height, of a prism is the perpendicular distance between its bases.
Does a prism has two congruent bases?
It can, but need not. Only a right prism must.
What are Congruent polygons in parallel planes called?
The figure would be a prism. However, congruent polygons in parallel planes are called bases.
How many bases does a heptagonal prism have?
A heptagonal prism has two 7-sided bases.
