Question

1. why is a cube a special kind of rectangular prism?
2. practice: making mental images

how are oblique prisms and right prisms different?

1. practice: organizing information

1. practice: activating prior knowledge and making mental images

what are three real - world examples of prisms?
word bank
cubes
polyhedrons
prisms
rectangular prisms
three - dimensional objects

Explanation:

1. A cube is a special rectangular prism because all its edges are of equal length. In a rectangular prism, the length, width, and height can be different, but in a cube, they are the same.
2. In a right prism, the lateral faces are perpendicular to the bases. In an oblique prism, the lateral faces are not perpendicular to the bases.
3. From out - most circle to in - most: Three - Dimensional Objects, Polyhedrons, Prisms, Rectangular Prisms, Cubes.
4. Three real - world examples of prisms are: a box of cereal (rectangular prism), a triangular prism - shaped tent, and a hexagonal prism - shaped pencil.

Answer:

1. A cube is a special rectangular prism as all its edges are equal.
2. In right prisms, lateral faces are perpendicular to bases; in oblique prisms, they aren't.
3. Outer to inner: Three - Dimensional Objects, Polyhedrons, Prisms, Rectangular Prisms, Cubes.
4. Box of cereal, triangular prism - shaped tent, hexagonal prism - shaped pencil.
