Question

Can someone please double check my true and false answers!
1. All cylinders are prisms: TRUE

2. The angle opposite a side length of 6 cm in a triangle is larger than an angle opposite a side length of 7 cm in the same triangle: FALSE

3. The perpendicular bisector of the base of any isosceles triangle also bisects the vertex angle of the triangle: TRUE

4. Each diagonal of a square bisects an opposite angle: true

5. Alternate interior angles are the angles that are both interior to two lines and on alternate sides of the transversal that intersects them: TRUE

Answer 1

1. FALSE
cylinders are generally round. Prisms have sides. Are all circles polygons? Only in the limiting sense that they are polygons with infinitely many sides :-)

2. FALSE
3. TRUE
4. TRUE
5. TRUE

Answer 2

1. I just thought since prisms and cylinders both have 2 bases they might be considered the same...Unlike pyramids that have only 1 base.

Answer 3

No Curves!

A prism is a polyhedron, which means the cross section will be a polygon (a straight-edged figure) ... so all sides will be flat!
