Maths question what is a cylinder?

A cylinder is also known as a circular prism because its flat faces and cross-sections are circular. It is called a prism because it is a 3-Dimensional object.


How are a cylinder and a triangular prism different?

Both are prisms. A prism is a 3D shape which has a uniform cross section, so anywhere along it's length where you take a slice you always see the same shape. To say which prism you mean we add the name of this cross section 'triangular prism', 'hexagonal prism' etc. We have a special name for a circular prism - a cylinder. Also, a rectangular prism is a cuboid.


What are two similarities between a rectangular prism and a cylinder?

Both a rectangular prism and a cylinder are three-dimensional shapes that have volume, meaning they occupy space. Additionally, they can both be defined by their dimensions: a rectangular prism is characterized by its length, width, and height, while a cylinder is defined by its radius and height. Both shapes can also be used to represent real-world objects and have applications in various fields such as architecture and engineering.


What one similarity between prism and cylinder cross sections?

One similarity between prism and cylinder cross sections is that both shapes can produce polygons when cut by a plane. For instance, a cross section of a prism will reveal a polygon that corresponds to the shape of its bases, while a cylinder can also yield a circular cross section or, if cut at an angle, an elliptical shape. In both cases, the cross section remains consistent along the length of the shape, maintaining the same geometric properties throughout.


What is the same of a cylinder and rectangular prism?

Cylinders are like rectangular prisms because cylinders are also prisms. A cylinder is a circular prism. It's like squeezing toothpaste out of the tube. Take the cap off your toothpaste and make sure the toothpaste is neatly flat. Then squeeze a bit out and cut that off neatly. You have a little piece of stuff that is a circular prism in shape, or a cylinder. A prism has to have two flat ends, both the same shape, and between the two ends the sides have to be straight from one end to the other. A new pencil which has no sharpened end is usually a cylinder or a hexagonal prism. They make pencils these days that are triangular prisms. Kids learning to hold a pencil properly use them because they fit neatly in the thumb and the first two fingers.

The answer would be a right cylinder. A right cylinder is a cylinder that has a closed circular surface having two parallel bases on both the ends and whose elements are perpendicular to its base.


What is a six faced prism called?

A square cuboid, see below form more details. A right rectangular prism is also called a cuboid, it has 6 faces. A right square prism is simply a square box, and may also be called a square cuboid.

How is car engine classified?

A car engine can be classified based on the number of cylinders it has. It could be a 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, 8 cylinder, 10 cylinder, or 12 cylinder (the last two engines are mainly used in exotic cars). There are also rotary engines, electric engines, natural gas engines and hybrid (electric/gas) engines. Each of these has subcategories as in the most common piston engines listed above.

When is a face of a three-dimensional figure also a cross-section of that same figure?

When the 3-d shape is a prism and the cross section is in a plane at right angles to the length of the prism.


A solid with congruent ends and parallel sides?

A solid with congruent ends and parallel sides is typically called a prism. More specifically: 🔷 Types of Solids with Congruent Ends and Parallel Sides Prism: A solid with two congruent, parallel polygonal bases and sides that are parallelograms. Examples include: Rectangular prism (like a box) Triangular prism (like a tent shape) Pentagonal prism, etc. Cylinder: A special case where the congruent ends are circles, and the side is a curved surface. It also fits the definition of having congruent ends and parallel sides. So depending on the shape of the ends (polygonal or circular), the solid could be a prism or a cylinder.
