A Prismthe faces are called bases
A Base. * * * * * What? Every prism, by definition, has two congruent faces which may be called the bases of the prism.
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.
A base
Two-dimensional object an intersection of two faces
A polyhedron that has two congruent faces is called a prism. It means that when it is cut at the cross-section, the shape is the same as its base.
A Prismthe faces are called bases
It is a polyhedron with two congruent faces: nothing more, nothing less. That can change if several additional conditions are required of the polyhedron.
Parallelogram prism
Any regular polygon has two congruent faces. Many polygons have two or more congruent faces.
A cylinder would fit the given description
There are many, but the infinitely many types of prisms are probably the simplest.
There are infinitely many such polyhedra. A regular dodecahedron, for example.
rectangular prism triangular prism
It is a polyhedron with two congruent sides: nothing more, nothing less.
Prism, which a polyhedron with two congruent and parallel faces (the bases) and whose lateral faces are parallelograms.
A polyhedron with two congruent triangles. There are very many possible configurations.
