How is a square pyramid and a cube different?
In a square pyramid, there are triangles as some of the sides. Only the base is a square, whereas in a cube, all faces are squares.
How many more faces does a cube have then a square pyramid?
1 a cube has 6 faces and a square pyramid has 5
What does a square pyramid and a cube not have in common?
A lot of things. For example, a cube has 8 vertices, the square pyramid has 5. A cube also has more edges and faces than the pyramid. All the faces of the cube are squares, while the pyramid only has one square face. Also, all the angles in the cube are right angles, while the angles in a square pyramid (in the usual sense of a pyramid where the apex is directly above the center of the base) are acute. In any case, they are not all right angles.
What are the plat surfaces on a pyramid cube or rectangular prism called?
The flat surfaces on a pyramid are called faces. A pyramid has one base and triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex. On a cube or rectangular prism, the flat surfaces are called faces as well. But unlike a pyramid, a cube has six square faces, while a rectangular prism has two rectangular bases and four rectangular faces.
Why is a cube a prism not a pyramid?
A cube, like a prism has two identical parallel faces which are joined by rectangular faces (a square being a special case of a rectangle). A pyramid, on the other hand, has a number of triangular faces meeting at an apex: a cube has no triangular faces.
