How are a cylinder and a triangular prism different?
Both are prisms. A prism is a 3D shape which has a uniform cross section, so anywhere along it's length where you take a slice you always see the same shape. To say which prism you mean we add the name of this cross section 'triangular prism', 'hexagonal prism' etc. We have a special name for a circular prism - a cylinder. Also, a rectangular prism is a cuboid.
All prisms take their names from the shape of what?
Their base shape. For example a rectangular prism has base that is a rectangle. Guess what kind of base shape a triangular prism has? yes, triangle.
What is the same of a cylinder and rectangular prism?
Cylinders are like rectangular prisms because cylinders are also prisms. A cylinder is a circular prism. It's like squeezing toothpaste out of the tube. Take the cap off your toothpaste and make sure the toothpaste is neatly flat. Then squeeze a bit out and cut that off neatly. You have a little piece of stuff that is a circular prism in shape, or a cylinder. A prism has to have two flat ends, both the same shape, and between the two ends the sides have to be straight from one end to the other. A new pencil which has no sharpened end is usually a cylinder or a hexagonal prism. They make pencils these days that are triangular prisms. Kids learning to hold a pencil properly use them because they fit neatly in the thumb and the first two fingers.
Why nuts are hexagonal in shape?
If they were square they would take up more area and the edges may get in the way or take up space, also if you had a square head then it would be easier for the metal to get stripped or deformed which would make it harder for the tool to loosen it. If the head was round, the you couldn't get a tool to grip the edges of it, so you couldn't screw it in good or loosen it. Basically, hexagonal is the most efficient shape for a nut.
How many lines does it take to connect every corner of a ten sided shape?
10. or 45. depending on if we're connecting them to adjacent corners or to every other corner
What is the formula for calculating the volume of a hexagonal prism?
The formula for calculating the volume of a hexagonal prism is to take the area of the hexagon, then multiply it by the height of the prism.

How many corners are on a hexagonal pyramid?
To find the number of vertices on any pyramid, take the number of corners on the base and add 1 (for the top) A hexagonal based pyramid has 7 vertices (6 for the hexagon, 1 for the top) I suspect you might mean "hexagonal prism" though. In which case, for prisms, you double the number of corners in the 2D shape. A hexagonal prism has 12 vertices (6 for the hexagons at each end.)
Why is a cube a prism?
A prism has the same cross section throughout its length no matter what form it may take i.e. a cubic prism, a cuboid prism, a triangular prism, a hexagonal prism, a cylindrical prism etc.
How do you find the perimeter of a hexagonal prism?
divide the hexagon into triagles take the measurement of the outermost side and multiply that number by six

What three-dimensional shape starts with the letter p?
Take your choice of a pyramid or a prism.
What look like a triangular prism?
a piece of a very thick cake would be in the shape of a triangular prism so if you take a thick cake and cut it into regular sized pieces, the shapes of the pieces would be triangular prism

What do you call a three dimensonal shape which 7 or 8 sides?
well if you take octagon (8 sides) , in 3d shapes octagon is probably called octagonal prism. and the sides are actually called faces. AND a 7 sided shape , a heptagon, is called heptagonal prism
How many lines does it take to connect every corner of a ten sided shape?
10. or 45. depending on if we're connecting them to adjacent corners or to every other corner
