What the difference between a triangle prism and a cone?
A cone has a circle for a base and a triangular prism has a triangle for a base
Does a triangular prism have a rectangle base or triangle base?
A triangular PYRAMID has a triangular base.
What is the shape of the prism base?
It depends what kind of prism: Rectangular prism-rectangle Could be circle too. It depends on what kind of prism it is. If it is a rectangular prism, it's base is a rectangle. If it's a triangular prism, it's base will be a triangle. P.S.-If you have any other questions about prisms or geometry in general, feel free to ask me!
How do you measure the surface of a triangular prism?
When you say surface of a prism this means the total amount of space on the outside of the prism. You have specified it to be a triangular prism, but taking the surface area of all prisms is the same process for all prisms. When finding the surface area of a prism you always use this equation... S.A. = (2 x Area of Prism Base) + (Height x Perimeter of Prism Base) In a triangular prism the base would be a triangle. Therefore to find the area you have to do 0.5 x base of the triangle x height of the triangle. For the perimeter of the triangle just add the length of all the sides together. The height indicated in your S.A. = ... formula... is how tall the prism actually stands. So since this prism is a triangular prism take the general surface area equation and put the correct triangular measurements into the general equation and you have this... S.A. = [2 x 0.5 x (height) x (base)] + [Height x perimeter] Here is the formula in word form. The surface area of a triangular prism is equal to two multiplied by one half multiplied by the height of the traingular height multiplied by the triangular base compute this number and then add it to the product of the height of the prism times the perimeter of the triangular base.
What shapes have 6 vertices?
Hexagon, triangular prism, that's all I can think of. Also, a pyramid with a pentagon for a base.
Are they alike between a triangle prism and a cone?
Cones have a circular base and a triangle prism has a triangular base
What the difference between a triangle prism and a cone?
A cone has a circle for a base and a triangular prism has a triangle for a base
What is the difference between a triangle and a prism?
A triangle is a two dimensional object. A Prism is a thee dimensional object. The base of a Prism is a Triangle, but it also has height.
How do you describe a triangular base prism?
triangle
How are triangle -based pyramid and trianlguar prism alike?
there base are a triangle
What is the triangular prism volume formula?
The Formula is Base*Height, or 1/2 Height (altitude of the triangle) * Base (of the Triangle) * height (Height of the prism)
In a triangular prism what is the difference between the height of the base and the height of the prism?
The height of the base is part of the triangle and the height of the prism is the height of the rectangle
What is the difference from a triangular prism and a square pyramid?
The base of a triangular prism is a triangle and the base of a square pyramid is a square.
The figure formed by the intersection of a solid with a plane parallel to the base of the solid is congruent to the base if the solid is?
A prism. A prism is named for its base, eg a triangular prism has a triangle for the base. If the base is a circle, the circular prism is called a cylinder.
Does a triangular prism have a rectangle base or triangle base?
A triangular PYRAMID has a triangular base.
Formula for volume of triangular prism?
To find the volume of a triangular prism, find the area of one of the triangles (base of the prism) first (base x height divided by 2). When you have the area of the triangle, then multiply the area of the triangle by the height of the prism, *not the height of the base.
How is a triangular prism different than a rectangular prism?
One is a triangle base...and the other a rectangle..
