The flat surface of any three dimensional object is called a face; a prism is a three dimensional object.

A tetrahedron has 4 faces, a cube has 6 faces, an octahedron has 8 faces, etc.

What are the plat surfaces on a pyramid cube or rectangular prism called?

The flat surfaces on a pyramid are called faces. A pyramid has one base and triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex. On a cube or rectangular prism, the flat surfaces are called faces as well. But unlike a pyramid, a cube has six square faces, while a rectangular prism has two rectangular bases and four rectangular faces.


How Alike between rectangular prism and hexagonal prism?

Both rectangular prisms and hexagonal prisms are types of three-dimensional geometric figures. They share similarities in that they both have two parallel faces (bases) and rectangular faces that connect the bases. Additionally, both can be classified as polyhedra, as they are made up of flat surfaces. However, their bases differ in shape, with rectangular prisms having rectangular bases and hexagonal prisms having hexagonal bases.


Why are the flat surfaces on a rectangular prism called faces?

The flat surfaces of all polyhedra are called faces and a rectangular prism is simply one kind of polyhedron.

Do all rectangular prisms have 6 square faces?

All rectangular prisms have six faces, but if it's a RECTANGULAR prism, it's not possible for it to have six SQUARE faces, they only have two of those. In total, they usually have four rectangular faces and two square faces.

What figures have six rectangles as faces?

Hexagonal prisms, if you don't count the bases as faces. Rectangular prisms, if you do.


What are solid figures with triangular bases and rectangular faces?

Those figures are called triangular prisms.


Can you draw a three dimensional figures whose lateral faces are rectangles that are prisms and pyramids?

Yes, three-dimensional figures can have lateral faces that are rectangles, specifically in the case of rectangular prisms and pyramids. A rectangular prism consists entirely of rectangular faces, including its lateral faces. In contrast, a rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base and triangular lateral faces, although it can be visualized with rectangular lateral sections if divided appropriately. Thus, while prisms have all rectangular lateral faces, pyramids typically feature triangular lateral faces.


Do all prisms have at least one rectangular face?

All prisms have at least 3. They all have 2 identical polygonal faces which are linked by as many rectangular faces as they have edges.
