A prism has two sides that are genral polygons with n sides, and n quadrilaterals which join the two n-gons. The prism is identified by the n-gons, as an n-gonal prism.
If these n-gons are in a plane at right angles to the quadrilaterals, then the quadrilaterals are all rectangles and the prism is called a right prism.
a triangular prism is different from a rectangular prism because: their names are different a triangular prism has a triangle for its' base a rectangular prism has a rectangle base a triangular prism has less sides than a rectangular prism a rectangular prism has more sides than a triangular prism
A prism is not so much a concept in algebra, but a geometric shape.
The volume of any prism is worked out in the same way whether it's a hexagonal prism, circular prism or a triangular prism. You just need to times the length of the prism against the area of the cross-section.
The volume of a prism is the area of the base (or the cross section of the prism that is perpendicular to the height) times the height.V = Ab * h
It is a skew prism. If the parallelograms are rectangles then it is a right prism.
is a prism named according to the shape of its base
It is named after the type of prism used in the instrument. A constant deviation prism has the property that the angle between light entering the prism (the incident light) and light exiting the prism (the emergent light) is always the same, no matter what the angle of the incident light to the prism.
Its "bases"
If I understand the question correctly, the answer is "the base".
A prism or a pyramid
NO,Because it's bases are rectangles ... and EVERY prism has rectangular bases.
It could be a triangular prism which has 5 faces, 9 edges and 6 vertices
A prism. A prism is named for its base, eg a triangular prism has a triangle for the base. If the base is a circle, the circular prism is called a cylinder.
A prism has 2 congruent parallel faces called bases. The other faces, most often rectangles, are called lateral faces. The prism is named by the shape of its base.
A prism is often named according to its base: one of the pair of congruent and parallel polygonal faces. In that case, if the base is a polygon with n sides, then the prism has 2*n vertices.
it is called a hexagonal prism prisms are named by the shape of their bases
There is no 6-edged prism. The simplest prism, a triangular prism, has 9 edges.There is no 6-edged prism. The simplest prism, a triangular prism, has 9 edges.There is no 6-edged prism.
