Their base shape. For example a rectangular prism has base that is a rectangle. Guess what kind of base shape a triangular prism has? yes, triangle.

What are the names of the different prisms you can make using 18 cantimetre cubes?

They are all called cuboids or hexahedra. There are no names that give more details about the prisms' structure.


Are all prisms cylinders?

No, not all prisms are cylinders. A prism is defined as a polyhedron with two parallel, congruent bases connected by rectangular faces, while a cylinder is a specific type of prism with circular bases. Therefore, while all cylinders can be classified as prisms, not all prisms fit the cylindrical shape.

What is the shape that has two names one is hexahedron?

A hexahedron is a three-dimensional shape that has six faces, and it is commonly known as a cube when all its faces are squares. In a more general sense, any polyhedron with six faces can also be classified as a hexahedron, which can include various forms like rectangular prisms. Thus, while all cubes are hexahedra, not all hexahedra are cubes.

What attributes do all cylinders and all prisms have in common that not all polyhedral have?

All cylinders and all prisms share the attributes of having two parallel bases connected by rectangular lateral faces. These bases are congruent and can be any polygon for prisms, while cylinders have circular bases. Unlike some other polyhedra, both cylinders and prisms maintain uniform cross-sections along their height, allowing for consistent shape throughout. Additionally, both shapes have a defined volume calculated from their base area and height.
