A parallelopiped has six faces that are parallelogram - like a cuboid that has been distorted by pushing opposite vertices in opposite directions (the three dimensional equivalent of distorting a rectangle into a parallelogram). A solid with two rectangular faces would be a special case of a parallelopiped.

A solid with congruent ends and parallel sides?

A solid with congruent ends and parallel sides is typically called a prism. More specifically: 🔷 Types of Solids with Congruent Ends and Parallel Sides Prism: A solid with two congruent, parallel polygonal bases and sides that are parallelograms. Examples include: Rectangular prism (like a box) Triangular prism (like a tent shape) Pentagonal prism, etc. Cylinder: A special case where the congruent ends are circles, and the side is a curved surface. It also fits the definition of having congruent ends and parallel sides. So depending on the shape of the ends (polygonal or circular), the solid could be a prism or a cylinder.


How does one determine the surface area of a rectangular prism?

To determine the surface area of a rectangular prism, the two sides, adjacent sides, and ends of the prism must be added up. To do this, the sides are the product of the prism's length and height, the adjacent sides the width and height, and the ends the product of the length and width.

How is a triangular and a rectangular pyramid different?

The difference in a triangular and rectangular pyramid only has to do with the base of the pyramid, which in turn decide how many sides the pyramid will have. A triangular pyramid has a base shaped like a triangle, which ends up having a total of 4 sides (including the base itself). A rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base, which ends up having a total of 5 sides (including the base itself).


What is a solid that has a rectangle as it's top view and side elevation and a circle as a end elevation?

The solid described is a cylindrical shape with a rectangular prism section. In this case, the rectangle represents the top view and side elevation, indicating that the cylinder has a rectangular cross-section along its length. The circular end elevation suggests that the solid has circular ends, which is characteristic of a cylinder. This combination results in a shape that may be a cylinder with rectangular sides or a more complex solid with cylindrical features.
