No, a sphere is not a prism. A prism is a polyhedron with two parallel and congruent faces called bases, and all other faces are parallelograms. A sphere, on the other hand, is a three-dimensional geometric shape with all points on its surface equidistant from its center, with no faces, edges, or vertices. In essence, a sphere is a curved surface while a prism is a polyhedron with flat faces.

Is a cylinder a sphere?
No, it is a prism as both of its bases are the same.
What are the examples of spatial figures and their pictures?
cylinder cube cone rectangular prism sphere circle pyramid
Can a triangular prism roll?
No, a triangular prism cannot roll because it does not have a circular cross-section like a cylinder or a sphere. Rolling requires a continuous curved surface that can rotate around an axis. A triangular prism has a polygonal cross-section with flat sides, so it would slide rather than roll.
What are two ways to find the volume of an object?
if it is a regular shape, a box, prism, pyramid, cone, sphere, use a math formula. irregular shapes, use water displacement.
What figure has 1 curved surface and 2 circular bases?
There are many possible answers: a frustrum of a cone, a sphere or torus intersected by a pair of parallel planes, a circular prism (cylinder) are some.
