Both views are of a rectangle. One of the sides will be of the same size but he other dimensions can be different.
The shape is 3 dimensional, the top down view is 2 dimensional.
the top down view is the full (whole) thing. It's the biggest part of the shape.
A rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base and four triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex. A square pyramid, on the other hand, has a square base and four triangular faces that meet at a single point. The key difference is in the shape of the base - rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base, while a square pyramid has a square base.
the shape of the base of a rectangular pyramid is a rectangle.
Unlike a tetrahedron (a four-faced shape with all triangular faces), a pyramid has a square (or rhomboid) base and triangular sides. Thus, a view from any side will yield a triangular appearance, while a view from below or above shows a square or rectangular shape.
A pyramid is a triangular 3D shape. A prism can be rectangular too.
If it is rectangular pyramid then it must be pyramidal in shape: otherwise it would not be called that!
Rectangular Prism - A 3-D shape with 2 rectangular bases, with a total of 6 faces. Rectangular Pyramid - A 3-D shape with only 1 base that's a rectangle, with a total of 5 faces.
rectangular pyramid and rectangularprism
It is a rectangle which is similar to (but smaller than) the rectangular base.
No, a rectangular pyramid is not a polygon. A polygon is a two-dimensional shape with straight sides, while a rectangular pyramid is a three-dimensional shape with a rectangular base and triangular faces that converge at a single point (the apex). Thus, while it has a polygonal base, the pyramid itself is classified as a polyhedron.
A rectangular-based pyramid.
