What is the difference between a triangular prism and rectangular pyramid?
A triangular prism has a uniformed cross-section whereas a rectangular pyramid does not.
Which shape has four faces six edges and four vertices its cross section shows a triangular face?
a triangular pyramid
What solid has a triangular cross section when the cross section is taken perpendicular to the base?
A solid with a triangular cross section when the cross section is taken parallel to the base could be either a triangular prism, a triangular pyramid, or a triangular frustrum.. I've been sitting here trying to convince myself (without actually bearing down and trying to prove it mathematically) that any cross section of a regular tetrahedron (a special case of triangular pyramid) taken perpendicularly to the base is a triangle, and I THINK this is the case, but as I said I certainly haven't rigorously proven it; I'm just unable to come up with any obvious situation where this is not true.
What is the difference between the cross section of a pyramid and the cross section of a prism?
The cross section of a pyramid shrinks from the shape of the base down to a point as you move along its axis from the base to the apex. The cross section of a prism is constant along its axis.
Is a three-dimensional figure with no triangular faces have a cross section that is a triangle?
Yes. A cuboid, for example, has triangular cross sections
What is the difference between a triangular prism and rectangular pyramid?
A triangular prism has a uniformed cross-section whereas a rectangular pyramid does not.
Can a triangular prism have a rectangular base or does this mean it is in fact a pyramid?
A prism can have a triangular cross-section with a rectangular base
What three solid figures have a triangle as a cross section?
Pyramid, triangular prism, cone.
Which shape has four faces six edges and four vertices its cross section shows a triangular face?
a triangular pyramid

What vessels have the greatest overal cross section?
cone, cylinder, rectangular prism, square pyramid and triangular prism
What shape does a triangular prism have that a recutangular prism does not havee?
A triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section.
What is the vertical cross section of square pyramid?
The vertical cross section of a square pyramid is a triangle. When the pyramid is sliced vertically through its apex and down to the base, the resulting shape is a triangular profile that includes the apex at the top and the edges of the base at the bottom. The height of the triangle corresponds to the height of the pyramid, while the base of the triangle spans the width of the base of the pyramid.
What is the difference between the cross section of a pyramid and the cross section of a prism?
The cross section of a pyramid shrinks from the shape of the base down to a point as you move along its axis from the base to the apex. The cross section of a prism is constant along its axis.
Can a paraellgram be a cross section of a triangular prism?
Yes, it can.
What polygon makes a triangular prism?
A triangle forms the cross-section of a triangular prism.
What shape is the cross section of a square pyramid when sliced perpendicular to its base through a vertex?
When a square pyramid is sliced perpendicular to its base through a vertex, the cross section will be a triangle. This triangle will have one vertex at the apex of the pyramid and the other two vertices on the base, forming a triangular shape that includes one of the pyramid's edges and a segment of the base. The resulting triangle will be isosceles if the slice is made symmetrically.
