Alike:

Both Cylinder and Prism have the same corresponding Top and Bottom. This is the definition.

A Cylinder can be considered as a prism with infinite no. of sides.

Different:

The side walls of any Prism are flat but that of a cylinder is curved.

How are prisms and cylinders alike and different?

Prisms have polygonal cross sections and several rectangular lateral faces. Cylinders have circular cross sections and one curved lateral face.


How is prisms and cylinders alike?

Prisms and cylinders are both three-dimensional geometric shapes that have two parallel, congruent bases. They are formed by extending a polygon (in the case of prisms) or a circle (for cylinders) along a perpendicular height. Additionally, both shapes have a uniform cross-section along their height, which means that their dimensions remain consistent throughout. This results in both prisms and cylinders having a defined volume and surface area that can be calculated using specific formulas.

How are prisms and cylinders different?

Prisms have polygons as bases whereas cylinders have circles as bases. In a way, a cylinder is like a circular prism.

How are cylinders and rectangular prisms similar?

Are all prisms cylinders?

No, not all prisms are cylinders. A prism is defined as a polyhedron with two parallel, congruent bases connected by rectangular faces, while a cylinder is a specific type of prism with circular bases. Therefore, while all cylinders can be classified as prisms, not all prisms fit the cylindrical shape.

What are the differences between prisms and cylinders?

Prisms have two parallel and congruent bases connected by rectangular lateral faces, while cylinders have two circular bases connected by a curved lateral surface. Prisms have flat sides and edges, while cylinders have a curved surface.
