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.
What is a solid with lateral surfaces that are parallelograms and two parallel bases?
A Prism
What is a solid with two parallel bases that are congruent polygons and the lateral faces are parallelograms?
A prism.
A three dimensional figure with two parallel and congruent bases connected by a curved lateral surface?
cylinder
A 3D figure with two parallel congruent circular bases connected by a curved lateral surface?
Cylinder
What is thesolid figure with two congruent pentagonal faces 5rectangular lateral surfaces and 10 vertices?
It is a pentagonal prism
Can a prism have curved sides?
No, a prism cannot have curved sides. A prism is a polyhedron with two parallel and congruent polygonal bases connected by lateral faces that are parallelograms. The lateral faces of a prism are always flat, planar surfaces that are perpendicular to the bases. Curved sides would not meet the definition of a prism.
What is the name given to a figure with two bases that are congruent parallel polygons and six lateral faces that are rectangles?
hexagonal prism
Why does a prism or a cylinder have a set of parallel cross sections that are parallelograms?
The bases of a prism or cylinder are congruent and parallel and they meet the lateral face (cynder) or faces (prism) at right angles. A cross section parallel to the longitudinal axis will, therefore, be a rectangle.
Does a pyramid have at least two congruent parallel bases?
Not true. They have only one base and several (3 or more) lateral triangular faces. A pyramid has a single vertex over a base - there are no parallel faces in any pyramid.
Are lateral edges of a prism congruent or perpendicular?
perpendickular
What 3d shape has 2 opposite identical faces and some other faces which are parallelograms?
Prism, which a polyhedron with two congruent and parallel faces (the bases) and whose lateral faces are parallelograms.
