A triangle with a rectangular base is typically referred to as a triangular prism when considering the three-dimensional shape. However, if you're referring specifically to a two-dimensional triangle that has one of its sides as the base of a rectangle, it doesn't have a unique name and is generally just called a triangle. In the context of geometry, the key characteristics would be the right angle formed at the base if the triangle is right-angled.

What shape is created by a cross section of a rectangular pyramid through its vertex cut perpendicular to its base?

A cross section of a rectangular pyramid through its vertex and perpendicular to its base creates a triangular shape. This triangle's base corresponds to one of the edges of the rectangular base, while its apex is at the vertex of the pyramid. The height of the triangle is determined by the vertical distance from the vertex to the base.


How many edges does a rectangular triangle have?

A rectangular triangle is an oxymoron! A triangle cannot be rectangular and no rectangular shape can be a triangle. The two words contradict each other.


Can a triangular pyramid be called a rectangle pyramid?

No. A triangular pyramid describes a triangle whose base is a triangle (not just the sides which define it as a pyramid), whereas a rectangular pyramid is one whose base is a rectangle. A triangle and a rectangle are not the same (a triangle is not a rectangle, and a rectangle is not a triangle), so it would be incorrect to refer to a triangle-based pyramid as a rectangle pyramid.


What is the difference between a rectangular pyramid and a rectangular prism?
