pyramid
A rectangular pyramid - except that a majority of Egyptian tombs were square based, not rectangle based.
To work out the area of the rectangular faces, you need to multiply the length by the width. You then need to multiply that answer by 3 (because there are 3 rectangular faces).To work out the area of the triangular faces, multiply the base of the triangle by the height and divide the answer by 2 (to find the area of one triangle). You then need to multiply it by 2 again because there are 2 triangular faces.Important: The height of a triangle is the distance from the top corner of the triangle down to the base (so that it meets the base at 90 degrees)You then need to add the total surface area of the rectangular faces to the surface area of the triangular faces to get the total surface area of the entire prism.(sorry for the essay :])
All except the base are always triangles; the shape of the base gives the name to the pyramid; eg a pentagonal pyramid has a pentagon as the base and five triangular faces; a triangular pyramid has three triangular faces and also has a triangle for the base.
A triangular base pyramid has 4 faces, 6 edges and 4 vertices
They are similar, however, the distinctiion is that the pyramid has a rectangular base with triangular faces meeting in a vertex (thus forming the pyramid shape), while the prism has a congruent (identical) cross-section, like a loaf of bread. So the prism has two rectangular "ends".
It is a rectangular based pyramid
A rectangular pyramid has 5 faces: a rectangular base, and 4 triangular faces.
