Question

how would the figure be classified?

use for \\#1-4

triangular prism
oblique prism
rectangular prism
pentagonal prism

Explanation:

⚡ Using what you learned: Three-Dimensional Shapes & Solids

Step 1: Identify the bases of the solid

A prism is classified by the shape of its two parallel, congruent bases. Looking at the given figure:

• The top face \(ABC\) is a triangle with side lengths \(3\text{ in}\) and \(4\text{ in}\).
• The bottom face \(DEF\) is a congruent triangle.
• These two triangular faces are parallel to each other.

Step 2: Classify the prism

Since the two parallel, congruent bases are triangles, and the lateral faces connecting them are rectangles, the solid is classified as a triangular prism.

Answer:

triangular prism
