Both a cuboid and a square-based pyramid are three-dimensional geometric shapes. They share the characteristic of having a square base, with the cuboid having equal-length edges and right angles, while the pyramid has triangular sides that converge at a single apex. Additionally, both shapes can be defined by their height, and their volume can be calculated using specific formulas related to their dimensions.
square base pyramid
A frustum of a square pyramid is like a slightly distorted cuboid. It has 12 edges.
The following are some shapes having a square cross section: a cube, a cuboid, a square pyramid.
Cube Cuboid Sqaure-based Pyramid
When a square pyramid is sliced by a plane parallel to its base, the cross section formed is a smaller square. The size of the square depends on the distance from the apex of the pyramid to the slicing plane; as the plane moves downward, the area of the square decreases proportionally. This maintains the shape's similarity to the base of the pyramid.
square base pyramid
A pyramid is usually a 4 sided figure but a cuboid is not. Also, the 4 sided pyramid all the faces are triangle but the cuboid has 2 square faces and 4 rectangle faces
A frustum of a square pyramid is like a slightly distorted cuboid. It has 12 edges.
A square is a 2-dimensional figure, a cuboid is 3-dimensional.
Bothe are 3-dimensional objects with 6 plane faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges. A cube is a special case of a cuboid and, therefore, all the generic properties of a cuboid also apply to a cube. In addition, while a cuboid has rectangular faces, a cube has square faces.
A square pyramid
Both are polyhedra with at least one quadrangular face.
The following are some shapes having a square cross section: a cube, a cuboid, a square pyramid.
