How are a cylinder and a triangular prism different?

Both are prisms. A prism is a 3D shape which has a uniform cross section, so anywhere along it's length where you take a slice you always see the same shape. To say which prism you mean we add the name of this cross section 'triangular prism', 'hexagonal prism' etc. We have a special name for a circular prism - a cylinder. Also, a rectangular prism is a cuboid.


What is the surface area of this rectangular prism 20cm x 11cm x 12cm?

Rectangular prism is an example of a cuboid and surface area of a cuboid is given by: S = 2x(l+b+h) We can say l = 20cm, b = 11cm & h = 12cm So, surface area of the rectangular prism = 2x(20+11+12)cm2 = 2x43cm2 = 86cm2


What is triangular prism's 2D shape?

Its proably a triangle but some people say it doesnt have one but its proably a triangle but don't think that's right cos it might not be.


When right triangular prism has a height of 15 and The prism's base has sides of lengths 3 5 and 7 What is the lateral area of the prism?

The lateral area L.A. of the right triangular prism is the sum of the areas of its lateral faces, which are rectangles with length the height (l = h = 15) and wide the sides of the triangle (w1 = leg1 = 3, w2 = leg2 = 5, w3 = hypotenuse = 7). So we have: L.A. = (15 x 3) + (15 x 5) + (15 x 7) L.A. = 15(3 + 5 + 7) L.A. = 225 Thus, we can also say that the lateral area of a prism is the product of the perimeter of its base with the height of the prism.


How do you find the length on an triangular prism?

Well first you need to find all the info So basically first find the face of the triangular prism (triangle) so it is 1/2(bxh) Lets say that the base is 6 and height is 4 so the face is 12 Now lets say the volume is 24 to the 3rd power So now you divide 24 by 12 and get 2 as the length -Check- 1/2(6x4)x2= 24 So our answer is correct (Please say this answer is helpful) -Alex P.S.- Alexkokota12 edited this so Bofofo did not write this.

What is another name for a triangular based prism?

You can call it a "triangular prism" rather than "triangular based prism" ... saying a prism is "triangular" imply that the base is a triangle. There's no other name that I know of. A prism is just a 3d shape, so all you have to say is <type of shape> + prism to get the point across.


Is a cylinder stronger than a triangular prism?

simply judging from the great pyramids at Egypt versus any other man-made structure in history, i'd say that the triangular prism is the sturdiest


What is another name for the rectangular prism?

I realy dont kown, but everyone say's CUBE........ sorry if you get iterong in a test.* * * * *Sorry to bring bad news but a rectangular prism is a CUBOID. A cube is a square prism.


How many vertices does asquare based prism?

it could have any amount! you must say the shapes on the sides like a triangular prism has two triangles on the sides and a pentagonal prism has two pentagons on the sides!

How do you measure the surface of a triangular prism?

When you say surface of a prism this means the total amount of space on the outside of the prism. You have specified it to be a triangular prism, but taking the surface area of all prisms is the same process for all prisms. When finding the surface area of a prism you always use this equation... S.A. = (2 x Area of Prism Base) + (Height x Perimeter of Prism Base) In a triangular prism the base would be a triangle. Therefore to find the area you have to do 0.5 x base of the triangle x height of the triangle. For the perimeter of the triangle just add the length of all the sides together. The height indicated in your S.A. = ... formula... is how tall the prism actually stands. So since this prism is a triangular prism take the general surface area equation and put the correct triangular measurements into the general equation and you have this... S.A. = [2 x 0.5 x (height) x (base)] + [Height x perimeter] Here is the formula in word form. The surface area of a triangular prism is equal to two multiplied by one half multiplied by the height of the traingular height multiplied by the triangular base compute this number and then add it to the product of the height of the prism times the perimeter of the triangular base.

The lateral area L.A. of the right triangular prism is the sum of the areas of its lateral faces, which are rectangles with length the height (l = h = 15) and wide the sides of the triangle (w1 = leg1 = 3, w2 = leg2 = 5, w3 = hypotenuse = 7). So we have: L.A. = (15 x 3) + (15 x 5) + (15 x 7) L.A. = 15(3 + 5 + 7) L.A. = 225 Thus, we can also say that the lateral area of a prism is the product of the perimeter of its base with the height of the prism.


Volume of triangular prism?

I think first you calculate the area of the triangular face. If you forgot that's ok. The formula is A= bxh divided by 2 which is the same as the area of a triangle is base multiplyed by height and divided by two. Then you need to know the length of the prism(the length of the rectangle)and multiply them together. So your calculation should look like this: Triangular face- A=bxh divided by 2 let's say that the base of the triangle is 5 cm and the height is 12cm Length of prism- let's say the length is 25 cm A=bxh divided by 2 A=5 x 12 divided by 2 A = 20 divided by 2 A = 30 cm squared 30 x 25 = 750cm squared( little 2)

How many planes of symmetry does a cuboid have?

It depends on which type of cuboid we are talking about. If it is a CUBE (a special type of cuboid), then it has nine planes of symmetry. If it is a cuboid with length, width and height all different, then it has three planes of symmetry. If it is a cuboid with two equal measurements (say width and length), then it has five planes of symmetry.
