These are terms which are used in the context of polyhedra. A polyhedron is a 3-dimensional, solid shape which is bounded by polygons. Every such polygon is a face. However, some faces are also called bases and this depends on the polyhedron.
All the faces of a pyramid, with the possible exception of one, are triangles. The one different face is called the base. In a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) the face that is at the bottom is the base.
A prism has two identical, parallel faces which may be any polygon. All the other faces are rectangles. A non-rectangular faces are called the bases. In a cuboid all six faces are rectangles and so any pair of opposite faces are called bases.
What else can I help you with?
Is the base on a polyhedron considered a face?
Yes. A base on a polyhedron is a face and a base on a polygon is a side.
Any face of a prism can be considered as a base?
Any face that is not a base is a what
How many base and face does an octagon have?
It has one base and one face.
Is a face also a base on a 3D figure?
Sometimes. Any face can be defined as a base of a prism; but pyramids may have one face that is a base and not a triangle.
In a prism a face that is not a base of the figure and in a pyramid its faces that intersect at the vertex?
any face that is not a base is?
Can a base be a face on a polyhedron?
Yes. Just pick it up and put it down on another base and your old base becomes a face.
What and the difference between base and soap?
There is no clear difference between base and soap because soap is a base.
Difference between face and base in geometry?
In geometry, a "face" refers to any flat surface that forms part of the boundary of a solid object, such as the flat sides of a cube or a pyramid. In contrast, a "base" is a specific face that serves as the bottom or foundation of a solid, providing support and stability. For example, in a triangular prism, the triangular faces are the sides, while the rectangular face at the bottom can be considered the base. Thus, all bases are faces, but not all faces are bases.
Does a cone have a face or does it have only a base?
First of all i need to say something about the the 1st answer a face is not the same as a base(expet for the cube) can you sit on your face i dont think sobut the truth and the answer is that it is a base not a face there are no faces on a cone
What is a face and a base?
The bottom or (Base) of a shape. Example...
What is the differences between base and height?
base is the 2D face of a figure the height is the extension of the 2D face That's why Area=Base*Height
What is a base in geometry?
a face
