Which of the following is NOT a rule for a Prism? 1) Bases are connected by rectangles or parallelograms 2) Has two bases that are identical copies of each other 3) The other faces are triangles, and they all meet at a single vertex 4) A type of polyhedron

Back

The other faces are triangles, and they all meet at a single vertex.

What does b represent in a pyramid or prism?

Back

base

Front

What is the area formula for a Parallelogram?

Back

A = b x h

Front

What is the formula for the Area of a Triangle?

Back

A = (b x h) / 2

Front

What is a prism?

Back

A solid shape with two identical bases connected by rectangular or parallelogram faces.

Front

What is a pyramid?

Back

A solid shape with a polygonal base and triangular faces that meet at a single vertex.

Front

How many faces does a triangular prism have?

Back

5 faces (2 triangular bases and 3 rectangular faces).

Front

What is the volume formula for a prism?

Back

Volume = Base Area x Height.

Front

What is the difference between a prism and a pyramid?

Back

A prism has two parallel bases, while a pyramid has one base and triangular faces that converge at a vertex.
