Question

1. when analyzing a triangular prism, which of the following correctly describes its faces?

a. five triangular faces of equal dimensions.
b. four triangular faces and one square base.
c. two triangular bases and three rectangular lateral faces.
d. three triangular faces and two rectangular bases.

Explanation:

A triangular prism has two congruent triangular bases (top and bottom) and three rectangular lateral faces (sides). Option A is incorrect as there are not five triangular faces. Option B is wrong because there is no square base. Option D is incorrect since the bases are triangular, not rectangular.

Answer:

C. Two triangular bases and three rectangular lateral faces.
