Question

the 2 polygons that are congruent and parallel.

a is a polyhedron with two congruent and faces, called bases.

prisms are named by the shape of their .

a is the intersection of a solid and a plane (or a very thin slice of the solid).

options: bases, cross section, edge, face, lateral, parallel, polyhedron, prism, vertex

Explanation:

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

Step 1: Identify the definition of bases

The first sentence describes the two polygons in a prism that are identical in shape and size (congruent) and face each other without intersecting (parallel).

• Definition: Bases are the two congruent and parallel polygons of a prism.
• Sentence 1: bases are the 2 polygons that are congruent and parallel.

Step 2: Identify the definition of a prism

The second sentence defines a specific type of three-dimensional solid (polyhedron) that has two bases that are both congruent and parallel to each other.

• Definition: A prism is a polyhedron with two congruent and parallel faces, called bases.
• Sentence 2: A prism is a polyhedron with two congruent and parallel faces, called bases.

Step 3: Identify how prisms are named

Prisms are classified and named according to the geometric shape of their flat top and bottom surfaces.

• Rule: Prisms are named by the shape of their bases.
• Sentence 3: Prisms are named by the shape of their bases.

Step 4: Identify the definition of a cross section

The final sentence describes the 2D shape obtained by cutting straight through a 3D solid (the intersection of a solid and a plane).

• Definition: A cross section is the intersection of a solid and a plane.
• Sentence 4: A cross section is the intersection of a solid and a plane (or a very thin slice of the solid).

Answer:

1. bases are the 2 polygons that are congruent and parallel.
2. A prism is a polyhedron with two congruent and parallel faces, called bases.
3. Prisms are named by the shape of their bases.
4. A cross section is the intersection of a solid and a plane (or a very thin slice of the solid).
