How many vertex does rectangular prism have?

The vertex of a prism is a corner along the side of the prism. There are 8 vertices on a rectangular prism.


What can you say that angle is said to be in its standard position?

On a Cartesian plane (or one using polar coordinates), the vertex of the angle must be at the origin and one of the rays must lie along the positive x-axis (point towards the East).


What path does a vertex of a square trace?

It depends on what the motion is. If the square is sliding along a straight line then the path of the vertex is a straight line. If the square is rotating, the answer will vary according to the location of the centre of rotation.


How do you find the circumcenter of different types of triangle using cutting and folding method?

Suppose you have a triangle whose vertices are A, B and C, and the sides opposite these vertices are a, b and c, respectively. Cut out the triangle. Fold it so that vertex B meets vertex C. Mark the point where this fold is on side a. Mark this point as D and fold along AD. Fold it so that vertex A meets vertex C. Mark the point where this fold is on side b. Mark this point as E and fold along BE. Fold it so that vertex A meets vertex B. Mark the point where this fold is on side c. Mark this point as F and fold along CF. The three folds, AD, BE and CF meet at the circumcentre. You do not need all three - any two of them will do.

Does a full angle can be called a circle?

No. A full angle is a segment of a line which goes to a vertex and returns along the same path. Any point on the line segment, other than the vertex, will trace out a circle but the angle itself is NOT a circle.
