Yes providing the cross section remains the same
No, it is not always true that two prisms with congruent bases are similar. For two prisms to be similar, their corresponding dimensions must be in proportion, not just their bases. While congruent bases indicate that the shapes of the bases are the same, the heights or scaling of the prisms can differ, affecting their similarity. Thus, two prisms can have congruent bases but still not be similar if their heights or other dimensions differ.

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.
A solid figure that has two congruent polygons as bases and lateral faces that are rectangles is called a prism. The two bases are parallel and identical, while the lateral faces connect corresponding sides of the bases and are rectangular in shape. Prisms can be categorized based on the shape of their bases, such as triangular prisms or rectangular prisms.

Prisms have two parallel and congruent bases. These bases are connected by rectangular or parallelogram-shaped sides, creating a three-dimensional shape. Examples of prisms include rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, and hexagonal prisms.
No. Their "bases" are at right angles to the rectangles connecting the bases.

A three-dimensional figure with two congruent polygon bases and all remaining sides as parallelograms is called a prism. The bases can be any polygon, such as a triangle, rectangle, or hexagon, and the sides connecting the bases are parallelograms, which maintain the same shape as the bases. The height of the prism is the perpendicular distance between the two bases. Examples include triangular prisms and rectangular prisms.
They are prisms.
No, not all the faces of a triangular prism are congruent. A triangular prism has two congruent triangular bases and three rectangular lateral faces. While the two triangular bases are identical in shape and size, the rectangular faces can vary in dimensions depending on the height of the prism.
Prisms are named based on the shape of their bases. Common types include triangular prisms, rectangular prisms, and hexagonal prisms. Additionally, there are specialized prisms like pentagonal prisms and octagonal prisms, reflecting the number of sides in their base shapes. Each type retains the characteristic of having two parallel, congruent bases connected by rectangular lateral faces.
The solid figure described is a prism, specifically a right prism if the sides are perpendicular to the bases. In a prism, the two parallel bases are congruent polygons, and the lateral faces are rectangles that connect corresponding sides of the bases. This geometric structure allows for various types of prisms, depending on the shape of the base polygon, such as triangular prisms or rectangular prisms.
