they are the same because, they both have rectangular bases. Rectangular prisms are rectangular from the top and bottom (they are flat) while a rectangular pyramid has a point on the top where all of the edges meet. A pyramid has a tip at the top which unables it to stand on the tip while prisms can anyways.
An Obelisk.
A Rectangular pyramid has a base of 4 points, and they lead up to the top point, like a triangle. A rectangular prism has a base of 4, the sides have 4 and the top as well, like a box.
A triangular prism has a uniformed cross-section whereas a rectangular pyramid does not.
It is a rectangular based pyramid
The shape is 3 dimensional, the top down view is 2 dimensional.
A rectangular pyramid is a pyramid with a rectangular base. Thus, a top-down view of such an object would simply be a rectangle with two diagonal lines connecting opposite vertices.
the top down view is the full (whole) thing. It's the biggest part of the shape.
The difference is 90 degrees.The side view looks like a triangle.The top view looks like a rectangle with its diagonals.
It would be a rectangle when you look from the top.
The side view of a rectangular pyramid is a triangle.
Both views are of a rectangle. One of the sides will be of the same size but he other dimensions can be different.
Unlike a tetrahedron (a four-faced shape with all triangular faces), a pyramid has a square (or rhomboid) base and triangular sides. Thus, a view from any side will yield a triangular appearance, while a view from below or above shows a square or rectangular shape.
It is a frustum of a rectangular pyramid.
An obelisk is a rectangular column ontop of a pyramid
1.Draw a rectangle 2.Connect the corners. or make a square and connect the corners
The side elevation is a triangle.
