What is paralellism?
parallel is when two sides are congruent in all ways and the ends will never meet at a point.
What defines a prism?
A PRISM is a solid whose side faces are parallelograms and whose ends(or bases ) are congruent parallel rectilinear figures.
How do you define a prism?
In optics a prism is a transparent solid body, often having triangular bases, used for dispersing light into a spectrum or for reflecting rays of light. In geometry a prism is a solid having bases or ends that are parallel, congruent polygons and sides that are parallelograms. In crystallography a prism is a form having faces parallel to the vertical axis and intersecting the horizontal axes.
What is a cylinder?
A solid figure that has 2 parallel bases that are congruent circles. A Cylinder is a solid figure described by the revolution of a rectangle about one of its sides which remains fixed. Two ends of a cylinder are the circles of same diameter. Examples include pipes, cans, and poles. cylinder?

The figure formed by the intersection of a solid with a plane parallel to the base of the solid is congruent to the base if the solid is a?
The answer would be a right cylinder. A right cylinder is a cylinder that has a closed circular surface having two parallel bases on both the ends and whose elements are perpendicular to its base.
Can a prism be of any shape?
in 3d shapes, a prism must have two congruent bases, and all of the other sides must be made of congruent rectangles. (squares are rectangles.A2. A prism is a solid with two parallel ends, and of constant cross-section between them. And normally with 90deg between the base and a side.It may be of any number of sides, and as the number of sides gets large, the shape approaches that of a cylinder.This is one item of the set of prismatoids, others of which can ignore the 90deg constraint and so on.
A solid figure with the ends being equal and parallel circles?
cylinder
What shape has 2 pairs of parallel sides and ends in m?
a parellelagram does
Can planes be parallel?
Yes. The opposite ends of any right prism consists of two congruent and parallel faces. Two planes are parallel if the vertical distance between them is always the same.
Why do you think that diagonals bisect each other for proving that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
The diagonals divide the quadrilateral into four sections. You can then use the bisection to prove that opposite triangles are congruent (SAS). That can then enable you to show that the alternate angles at the ends of the diagonal are equal and that shows one pair of sides is parallel. Repeat the process with the other pair of triangles to show that the second pair of sides is parallel. A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel lines is a parallelogram.
How many sides that are parallel on a square?
A square is an example of four sided figures with the opposite sides parallel. While all sides have one side that is parallel to the opposing side, the sides are all other parallel to each other. Mathmaticaly speaking each side of the square has one parallel side opposing it and an orthogonal side at each of its ends. The square shares this property with other rectangles
What is true about a trapezoid A opposite sides are equal B opposite angles are equal C both pairs of opposite sides are parallel D one pair of opposite sides is parallel?
A trapezoid (UK trapezium) has D)one set of opposite sides parallel although they are of unequal length. An isosceles trapezoid has two sets of equal angles, at the ends of each of the parallel sides.
