What is a 2d triangular prisim?

You cannot have a 2d prism. The 2d cross section will depend on the plane of the cross section.

A triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section.

Can a triangular prism roll?

No, a triangular prism cannot roll because it does not have a circular cross-section like a cylinder or a sphere. Rolling requires a continuous curved surface that can rotate around an axis. A triangular prism has a polygonal cross-section with flat sides, so it would slide rather than roll.

Is a three-dimensional figure with no triangular faces have a cross section that is a triangle?

Yes. A cuboid, for example, has triangular cross sections


What solid has a triangular cross section when the cross section is taken perpendicular to the base?

A solid with a triangular cross section when the cross section is taken parallel to the base could be either a triangular prism, a triangular pyramid, or a triangular frustrum.. I've been sitting here trying to convince myself (without actually bearing down and trying to prove it mathematically) that any cross section of a regular tetrahedron (a special case of triangular pyramid) taken perpendicularly to the base is a triangle, and I THINK this is the case, but as I said I certainly haven't rigorously proven it; I'm just unable to come up with any obvious situation where this is not true.


How Do you make a cross section of a parallelogram from a pyramid?

It depends on the pyramid. If it is a square based pyramid, a horizontal plane will give a square cross section, a plane inclined by a rotation parallel to one of the base axes will give a rectangular cross section whereas a plane inclined by rotation along both basal axes will result in a parallelogram cross section. Not sure how you get a parallelogram from a pentagonal or hexagonal (etc) pyramid.


What shape is the cross section drawn through the prism?

Answer 1A triangle. Answer 2For a triangular prism, the cross section is a triangle.
