in 3d shapes, a prism must have two congruent bases, and all of the other sides must be made of congruent rectangles. (squares are rectangles.
A2. A prism is a solid with two parallel ends, and of constant cross-section between them. And normally with 90deg between the base and a side.
It may be of any number of sides, and as the number of sides gets large, the shape approaches that of a cylinder.
This is one item of the set of prismatoids, others of which can ignore the 90deg constraint and so on.
What else can I help you with?
What shape does a triangular prism have than a rectangular prism does not have?
A triangular prism has two triangular faces, a rectangular prism does not have any.
What shape are the side faces of right prism?
Any polygons
What does base of a prism mean?
The base of a prism refers to one of the two parallel and congruent faces that define the shape of the prism. These bases can be any polygon, and the height of the prism is the perpendicular distance between them. The lateral faces of the prism connect the corresponding sides of the two bases, creating a three-dimensional shape. The properties of the prism, such as its volume and surface area, are often calculated based on the shape and dimensions of the base.
What makes a solid shape a prism?
A solid shape with regular area and height makes a prism. A solid shape with regular area and height makes a prism. A solid shape with regular area and height makes a prism.
What shape has 8 faces 12 vertices and 18 edges?
the shape that has 8 faces , 18 edges , and 12 vertices is simply a hexagonal prism not a pyramid my butt :P
What is a prism in algebra?
A prism is not so much a concept in algebra, but a geometric shape.
What shape does a triangular prism have than a rectangular prism does not have?
A triangular prism has two triangular faces, a rectangular prism does not have any.
Are cubes and cuboids types of prism?
yes, a prism is any 3-dimensional continuous shape
What shape is solid and has 6 faces on it?
Any kind of prism...:)
What shape are the side faces of right prism?
Any polygons
How do you work out the base area of a prism?
That depends on the shape of the base. A prism can have any sort of polygon for its base.
Is a fishtank a rectangular prism?
Yes. A prism is any shape where, if you slice it like a sausage, all the pieces are the same shape. For a fishtank, all the slices would be rectangles, and so it is a rectangular prism.
Is a shoe box a cube?
It can be any shape, a cube, rectangular prism.
What is the shape of a Toblerone?
It is a triangular prism.
What is a 3-dimensional geometric shape that has a total of 5 faces with 2 faces being triangles and the other 3 faces being rectangles?
That shape is called a triangular prism. A prism is made of rectangles arranged in a tube with any 2D shape at the ends. This shape determines what kind of prism it is, you can get pentagonal, hexagonal, and many other types of prism.
What is a prism shape?
Any 3D shape with a constant cross-section; in other words, a 2D shape stacked on top of itself, like a triangle on a Toblerone box. But it need not be a triangular shape that is stacked. A rectangular 2-d shape would give a cuboid. Any poygonals shape can be stacked for a prism. Not a piramid, or pyramid even, which is not a prism!
What does base of a prism mean?
The base of a prism refers to one of the two parallel and congruent faces that define the shape of the prism. These bases can be any polygon, and the height of the prism is the perpendicular distance between them.
