What are the similarities and differences cube and triangular prism?
Answers
Similarities:
-Dimensions
Rectangular prisms have three dimensions: length, width and height.
cubes prisms also have 3 sided dimensions, length, width and height.
- Cube is also a rectangular prism, its one of the types of rectangular prisms.
- Calculating Surface Area
There is same method of calculating surface area of both.
Surface Area = 2xlength + 2xwidth + 2xheight, or shorthand, A=2L+2W+2H
Difference
- Identification
All the sides of a cube are the exact same length, meaning that its length, width and height are all equal.
Rectangular prisms that aren't cubes can have any two of these dimensions the same (which makes it a "square prism") or all three can be different.
- calculating the volume formulas of both are different
Answer:
Rectangle prism have 3D: length,width and height
