What is the shape of the bases?
Answers
Answer:
A prism is a 3-dimensional shape with two identical shapes facing each other. These identical shapes are called “bases”. The bases can be a triangle, square, rectangle or any other polygon.
Answer:
Since, no particular geometric shape is given in the question
I'll be talking about bases in general.
In geometry, the base is that side of a geometric shape on which a polygon lie.
- Which is used as a reference side for different measurements.
For example,
A cube has six squares and a tetrahedron is made with four triangles .
Therefore, the shape that is used for construction is called base. Basically the base is a foundation of any geometric shape.
In this example, the triangle is the base of the tetrahedron, and the square is the base of the cube.
However,
There are also some figures that are constructed using different shapes. For example, a pyramid uses four triangles and one rectangle. With one rectangle being the base.
Also, a cylinder uses an oval shape/ ellipse or even a circle as its base.
