How are prisms named?
Prisms consist of two polygonal "bases" and rectangular faces joining them. Prisms are named after the polygonal bases.
How are prisms and cylinders alike and different?
Prisms have polygonal cross sections and several rectangular lateral faces. Cylinders have circular cross sections and one curved lateral face.
What is a similarity between prisms and pyramid?
Prisms come in many shapes and sizes but all prisms must have flat sides - no curved sides so a Pyramid having flat sides and no curves is a prism. * * * * * That is utter rubbish. Both pyramids and prisms are polyhedra. That means they are solid shapes bounded by plane faces. Neither of them can have curved faces. A pyramid has one polygonal base and triangular faces that rise from the base and meet at an apex. A prism has two congruent parallel bases that are linked together by rectangular faces. Both terms are generic: they do not specify the polygonal bases.
What solid figure with one polygon base and triangular faces?
Polygonal Prism Actually, it is a polygonal pyramid. A polygonal prism would have two polygonal faces.
Are pyramids polygons cylinders or prisms polyhendrons?
A polygon is a plane (2-dimensional) object bounded by straight lines. A polyhedron (not polyhendron!) is a solid (3-dimensional) object bounded by polygonal faces. So, pyramids and some prisms are polyhedra. A cylinder is a type of prism but, because two of its faces are circular, those faces are not polygons. As a result a cylinder is not a polyhedron.

what is a figure has two parallel polygonal faces that are not congruent?
Oblique prisms.Oblique prisms.Oblique prisms.Oblique prisms.
What is the relationship between prisms and pyramids?
pyramids are prisms. * * * * * Pyramids are not prisms nor are prisms pyramids. A pyramid has one polygonal base. Each side of that polygon is connected to a triangle, whose third vertices meet at a point above the base of the pyramid. A prism has two congruent polygonal bases that are parallel to one another. They are joined together by rectangles.
What are the names of all prisms?
Triangular Prism Rectangular Prism Polygonal Prism Hexagonal Prism
Do all prisms have at least one rectangular face?
All prisms have at least 3. They all have 2 identical polygonal faces which are linked by as many rectangular faces as they have edges.
How are prisms and cylinders alike and different?
Prisms have polygonal cross sections and several rectangular lateral faces. Cylinders have circular cross sections and one curved lateral face.
What are some similarities between rectangular and triangular prisms?
they are both solid shapes they both have a rectangle they are both prisms they are both bounded by plane polygonal faces hope this helps :)

How are geometric pyramids and prisms the same?
Both are closed three dimensional polyhedra, all of whose faces are polygonal. They may need to be convex but I am not 100% sure about that.
How many types of prisms are there?
There are many types of prisms such as rectangular prisms,polyganic prisms crossed prisms and etc.
