they are different because there bases are different
Surface area of rectangular prism?
The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated by adding the areas of all six faces. The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l, w, and h represent the length, width, and height of the prism, respectively. This formula accounts for the two faces of each dimension (length, width, and height) on the rectangular prism.
How are prisms and pyramids alike?
Both pyramids and prisms are three dimensional. Both of them have polygon faces. Another thing common about pyramids and prisms is that they have a base and faces.
How is the cylinder and rectangular prism alike?
Both the cylinder and rectangular prism are solid objects. Volume of both can be found by multiplying the area of the base by the height.
A cube and a rectangular prism are alike because?
They have the same number of edges, faces and vertices.
