Describe the specific attributes of a prism.

Question

(1 point)
A prism is a figure that has height, length, and width.
A prism is a point where two or more
• line segments meet.
A prism is the top or bottom face of a solid object.
•
A prism has parallel identical bases and identical lateral faces.

Answer 1

The specific attributes of a prism include the following:

• A prism has parallel identical bases, which are typically polygonal in shape. Each base is congruent to the other.
• The prism has identical lateral faces that connect corresponding sides of the two bases. These lateral faces are usually parallelograms.
• The height of the prism is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.
• A prism maintains a consistent cross-section along its height, meaning that any slice taken parallel to the bases will produce the same shape as the bases.

Among the options you provided, the most accurate description of a prism is: "A prism has parallel identical bases and identical lateral faces."
