Which characteristic do a prism and a pyramid NOT have in common?
The number of bases they do not have in common. A pyramid has one base, but a prism has two bases.
Is a trapezoid a prism?
No. A trapezoid is a 2-dimensional shape. A prism is a 3-D solid. A trapezoidal prism has ends in the shape of identical trapezoids, and that is its cross-section.
What attribute identifies the name of a prism?
The number of bases
What are the bases on the trapezoid?
The bases on a trapezoid are the two lines that are parallel to each other. .............................. ....____base____...... .../ ...................\..... ../ .....................\.... ./_____base_____\... .............................
Formula for volume of a trapezoidal prism?
the volume of a trapezoidal prism is equal to the height times the base area of the trapezoid. First you find the area of trapezoid h(a+b)/2 h is the height of the trapezoid, not the height of the prism a is the length of the top b is the length of the bottom Then you find the volume of the trapezoidal prism with this formula H*h(a+b)/2 H is the height of the prism. Multiply H by the area of the trapezoid that you found in step one.
What is the volume of a trapezoid prism?
The volume of any right prism is the area of the base, in this case a trapezoid, multiplied by the height of the prism. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2h(a + b) where a and b are the bases of the trapezoid (the parallel sides). Once you calculate the area of the trapezoidal base of the prism, multiply that number by its height to get its volume.
A prism has lateral faces that are perpendicular to the two bases?
Trapezoid
The median of a trapezoid bisects the bases of the trapezoid?
The altitude of a trapezoid bisects the bases of the trapezoid.
What is the least amount of bases a prism can have?
A prism *always* has 2 bases. In case you meant "faces" instead of "bases", the prism with the smallest number of faces is the triangular prism - which has 5 faces. If there were any fewer number of faces, the prism which become a two dimensional object.
Which characteristic do a prism and a pyramid NOT have in common?
The number of bases they do not have in common. A pyramid has one base, but a prism has two bases.
What is the average of the bases of a trapezoid?
The average of the bases of a trapezoid is the median.
Is a trapezoid a prism?
No. A trapezoid is a 2-dimensional shape. A prism is a 3-D solid. A trapezoidal prism has ends in the shape of identical trapezoids, and that is its cross-section.
What attribute identifies the name of a prism?
The number of bases
Can a trapezoid have 3 bases?
No, a trapezoid cannot have 3 bases. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called bases of the trapezoid. Therefore, there can only be 2 bases.
What are the bases on the trapezoid?
The bases on a trapezoid are the two lines that are parallel to each other. .............................. ....____base____...... .../ ...................\..... ../ .....................\.... ./_____base_____\... .............................
What is a polyhedron with 2 congruent parallel bases called?
A parallelogram or trapezoid.No!A parallelogram or a trapezoid are polygons (2-dimensional). A polyhedron, or 3-dimensional object, with parallel congruent bases is a prism.A prism. To give it fuller description, an "n-gonal prism" where the "n-gon" refers to the 2-d name of the bases.
How many bases does a prism have?
It depends on what kind of prism you mean. For example, a rectangular prism has 6 bases and a triangular prism has 5 bases. A triangular prism only has two bases.
