To find the number of different rectangular prisms that can be built using 18 unit cubes, we need to determine the possible dimensions ( (l, w, h) ) such that ( l \times w \times h = 18 ), where ( l ), ( w ), and ( h ) are positive integers. The factor combinations of 18 are: ( (1, 1, 18) ), ( (1, 2, 9) ), ( (1, 3, 6) ), ( (2, 3, 3) ), and their permutations. Counting unique arrangements, there are a total of 6 distinct rectangular prisms that can be formed.
Cubes have a square on each side, but rectangular prisms have rectangles or squares.
Cubes are a specific type of rectangular prism where all six faces are squares of equal size, meaning all edges have the same length. In contrast, rectangular prisms can have faces that are rectangles of varying dimensions, allowing for a wider range of shapes. While both share the same general properties of having length, width, and height, the uniformity of a cube sets it apart from other rectangular prisms. Thus, all cubes are rectangular prisms, but not all rectangular prisms are cubes.
There are only four different configurations.
Ignoring rotations, there are 3 distinct solutions.
Four.

2 prisms
Cubes are special cases of rectangular prisms.
No it is not
Well, honey, if the height is 4 cubes, that leaves you with 12 cubes to work with for the base. You can arrange those 12 cubes in various ways to form different rectangular prisms. So, technically speaking, there are multiple rectangular prisms you can create with 48 cubes and a height of 4 cubes.

There are different kinds of space figures. The names of these space figures are rectangular prisms, cubes, pyramids, and cylinder.
There are only four different configurations.
NO
Ignoring rotations, there are 3 distinct solutions.
Only one.
no, but a cube is a rectangular prism... Remember this, a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is never a square!
