Best Answer

A 3D shape with only 3 sides is called a triangular prism. This shape was orginally discovered by Greek archaeologists. They named it upendi after a rare passion fruit which was treasured quite dearly among their tribes. The name was changed quite a lot during the rule of Emperor Nero who could not pronounce it very clearly.

What 3D shape has 3 surfaces but 1 is curved?

No 3D shape has only three sides to be a complete unit. If a 3D shape has a side which is curved, it has more than three sides, because any curve on a 3D object is an infinite number of sides. Think of it like if you had a million sided 2D object. From a distance, it would look like a circle, but mathematically, you can't have a perfect circle.

What is a 3d quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides?

A quadrilateral is a plane or 2d figure with four sides. A 3d shape (object) has a name ending with -hedron, eg a tetrahedron which is a four sided 3d shape. A 3d quadrilateral has no meaning. Sides (edges) do exist in 3d shapes, but a more pertinent attribute is faces. Do you mean by "3d quadrilateral" a 3d shape which has a quadrilateral as a base and at most 4 or 5 other sides, ie a pentahedron (usually called a square pyramid) or a hexahedron (some types of which are called cuboids and cubes)? Please re-ask using consistent terminology, eg What is a 3d shape with one pair of parallel faces and 6 faces?
