the difference between a cone and a prism is that a cone has no edges and only one vertex and a prism has both edges and vertexes.

Is a prism and a cone alike?

A prism and a cone are both three-dimensional geometric shapes, but they have distinct differences. A prism has two parallel bases that are congruent polygons, and its sides are rectangular, connecting the bases. In contrast, a cone has a circular base and tapers smoothly to a single point called the apex. Thus, while they share some similarities as solids, their shapes and properties are quite different.


What is the formula to finding the height of a rectangular prism?

It is the difference if the heights, above some arbitrary level, of the top and bottom of the prism.


What are the names of 3 dimensional figures?

The general term is "solid shapes"; some examples are sphere, pyramid, cone, rectangular prism.


What is the difference between a nut and a cone?

A nut has the seed enclosed within a hard shell, often then enclosed in a soft fruit. A cone bears a naked seed - though some conifers have their seed associated with a soft berry. (Check out the Kahikatea and the Miro.)


What are the difference between a right prism and an oblique prism?

In a right prism, the lateral sides are perpendicular to the bases and so all of them are rectangular.In an oblique prism, the lateral sides are not perpendicular to the bases so that some of them (at least) are non-rectangular parallelograms.In a right prism, the lateral sides are perpendicular to the bases and so all of them are rectangular.In an oblique prism, the lateral sides are not perpendicular to the bases so that some of them (at least) are non-rectangular parallelograms.In a right prism, the lateral sides are perpendicular to the bases and so all of them are rectangular.In an oblique prism, the lateral sides are not perpendicular to the bases so that some of them (at least) are non-rectangular parallelograms.In a right prism, the lateral sides are perpendicular to the bases and so all of them are rectangular.In an oblique prism, the lateral sides are not perpendicular to the bases so that some of them (at least) are non-rectangular parallelograms.

What are some differences between rectangular and triangular prisms?

The rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section; the triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. Any other difference would be related to this fact - for example, differences in the formulae for the surface area, for the volume, etc.

What is the difference between prism and prymed?

I assume you mean between prism and pyramid. I suggest you look at some picture of prisms and pyramids, to get it perfectly clear. In any case, a prism has the same horizontal cross section from the bottom the top. On the other hand, the lines of a pyramid get together towards the top, to a point. If you take a horizontal cross section, at the base it will be larger, but the closer you get to the top, the smaller such a cross section will be.
