What is one way that a triangular prism and a rectangular prism are similar?
They both have sides that are rectangular in shape. They both have a constant cross-sectional shape equal to the shape of the ends (triangle for a triangular prism; rectangle for a rectangular prism).
Why do all quadrilaterals have at least one pair equal sides?
Maybe all the ones you talk about in school have at least one pair of equal sides, but there are an infinite number of other quadrilaterals that have no equal sides. Take four sticks ... 1 foot, 2 feet, 3 feet, and 4 feet. There's no problem gluing their ends together to make an ugly, out-of-shape quadrilateral.
What geometrical shape is a cylinder split in half?
a rectangle.if u spilt a cylinder down the middle vertically you get a rectangleIf you split it in half parallel to the ends, it cuts the cylinder into two cylinders (the cut surface being a circle).Cut at any angle between parallel to the ends and going through the point where the side meets the end produces an ellipse.Cut at any angle between the point where the sides meet the ends and perpendicular to the ends produces a four sided shape with each side an arc, opposite sides being equal.
Does a trapezium always have equal sides?
No. A normal trapezium has two parallel sides that are not equal in length, and two other sides joining the ends of the parallel sides which may be equal, but are usually not. If all four sides of a trapezium were equal in length, it would be called a rhombus as the sides would be parallel in pairs; and if the angles were 90° as well, it would be called a square.
Two of your faces have eight equal sides in all and your other four faces are rectangles what are you?
a hexahedron with four rectangular sides and two square ends.
