What has two congruent polygons as bases and rectangular lateral faces?
A prism..
How many parallel lines in a decagonal prism?
There are 10 parallel lateral edges. And ten parallel edges between the two bases. There could be more - within each decagon, but that depends on the decagons, and details of these are not given.
Why emergent parallel incident ray in a glass slab?
This is because the amount of refraction taking place at the parallel faces of a glass slab is equal but opposite and since the faces are parallel the emergent ray emerges parallel to the incident ray with lateral displacement.
What is the lateral area of a regular quadrangular prism that has a perimeter of 16 cm and a height of 4 cm?
What makes this question tricky to answer is the understanding of the terms. Were the correct terms used in the question, and does the question poster and answer contributor have the same understanding of those terms? Having said that, here goes. A prism is a polyhedron with at least two congruent parallel faces. They are called the bases. The other faces (the "lateral faces") are parallelograms that are formed by lines that connect the corresponding vertices of the two bases. A quadrangular prism has a quadrangular base (such as a rectangle). If the base is some sort of regular polygon, it's called a regular prism. The lateral area of a prism is defined as the total area of the lateral faces. To calculate the lateral area, you multiply the length of an edge by the perimeter of the face that is perpendicular (at right angles to) to that edge. So, assuming the height, 4 cm in this case, is perpendicular to the perimeter, 16 cm, we calculate the lateral area to be 4 x 16 or 64 square centimeters or 64 cm2.
What are the nonparallel sides of a trapezoid called?
The nonparallel sides of a trapezoid are called the legs. The parallel sides are called the bases.
A 3D figure with two parallel congruent circular bases connected by a curved lateral surface?
Cylinder
What has parallel congruent bases and lateral surfaces that are parellelograms?
A rectangular prism has congruent bases and parallelograms as lateral surfaces.
Characteristic of an oblique pyramid?
characteristics are: The lateral faces are triangles. it is three-dimensional. The lateral faces are not congruent.
What is a solid with two parallel bases that are congruent polygons and the lateral faces are parallelograms?
A prism.
Does a prism have an apex?
No, a prism does not have an apex. A prism is a solid geometric figure with two parallel and congruent bases that are connected by lateral faces. The apex refers to the highest point or vertex of a shape, which is not applicable to prisms.
What solid figure with two congruent polygons that are bases connected with lateral faces that are rectangles?
They are prisms.
What are the differences between prisms and cylinders?
Prisms have two parallel and congruent bases connected by rectangular lateral faces, while cylinders have two circular bases connected by a curved lateral surface. Prisms have flat sides and edges, while cylinders have a curved surface.
What is a solid firgure with two congruent polygons that are bases connected with lateral faces that are rectangles?
It is called 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
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.
How many bases does a cylinder have?
the sphere doesn't have a base because it's all round
Does a prism have an even number of vertices?
Yes, a prism has an even number of vertices. A prism is a three-dimensional shape with two parallel and congruent polygonal bases connected by rectangular or parallelogram faces. The number of vertices in a prism is equal to the number of vertices in its bases plus the number of vertices in the lateral faces. Since each base has an equal number of vertices, and the lateral faces have an even number of vertices, the total number of vertices in a prism is always even.
