How is a prism and a pyramid similar?
Both represent a shape and are a 3D figure but, a pyramid only has 1 face and prisms have 2 faces.
What is the volume of a 3 by 12 rectangular prism?
A rectangular prism is defined by three linear measures. Only 2 are given in the question.
How many bases does a pentagonal pyramid have?
it has only one base and not more than the prism has more than one
Could any polyhedron be the base of a pyramid?
No. Polyhedra are three-dimensional objects, and the base of any prism, strictly speaking, should be two-dimensional. Any convex polygon (which is two-dimensional) can form the base of a pyramid. A circle, which is technically not a polygon, is the only convex two-dimensional figure that cannot form the base of a pyramid because it forms the base of a cone.
Does a prism has two congruent bases?
It can, but need not. Only a right prism must.
What is the difference between a triangular prism and a pyramid?
A prism has 2 bases and a pyramid has only one base.
How is a hexagonal pyramid and hexagonal prism alike and different?
They are both polyhedra. Both have at least one hexagonal face. A 6-pyramid has only one hexagonal face, a 6-prism has 2. A 6-pyramid has only 7 face, a 6-prism has 8. A 6-pyramid has only 12 edges face, a 6-prism has 18. A 6-pyramid has only 7 vertices, a 6-prism has 12.
What is difference between a prism figure and a pyramid figure?
a prism has two bases, while a pyramid only has one.
What is one defference between a prism and a pyramid?
Difference 1: A prism has two bases that are parallel to each other. A pyramid has only one base. Difference 2: The sides of a prism are rectangular (these are the sides that aren't the bases)_. The sides of a pyramid are triangular.
Which solids have only flat faces?
Any kind of cube, prism, or pyramid (other than a circular prism a.k.a a cylinder or a circular pyramid a.k.a. a cone)
How is a triangular prismdiffrent from a triangular pyramid?
a triangular pyramid is a triangular prism but it doesn't work vise-versa. The prism needs a minimum of 1 triangle face but it can have more.A pyramid can only have one triangular face.
How are a rectangular prism and a pyramid different?
A pyramid is not a prism because it only has one base and a rectangular prism has 2 bases.Among other things, a rectangular prism has 6 faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges.A rectangular pyramid has 5 faces, 5 vertices and 8 edges.Rectangular prisms can be described as a "box". They do not have an apex (the vertice where all the edges meet. On the contrary, a pyramid does have an apex. It is located on the top of the pyramid.
Formula for volume of 3D shape?
Length x Width x Height * * * * * That is only true if the shape is a cuboid. Not if it is a sphere, cylinder, cone, prism, pyramid - all of which have relatively simple formulae.
How is a prism and a pyramid similar?
Both represent a shape and are a 3D figure but, a pyramid only has 1 face and prisms have 2 faces.
Can you find the volume of a rectangular prism is you only have the length and height?
No.
How do you find the volume of a similar prism with only the scale factor and volume of the other prism?
The ratio of the volumes of similar solids is (the ratio of their linear dimensions)3 .
What type of prism has 4 sides?
No type of pyramid can have 4 sides, it can have only 4 faces.
