No, the shape of the structure does not affect air pressure. Air pressure is determined by factors such as altitude, temperature, and air density, not the shape of the container holding the air.

Why are lighthouses cylindrical?

They are cylindrical so the force of wind and waves is lessened. If the walls were flat they would have much more pressure on them ................ they used to be sploge shaped but that just looked silly


Why cant we use a rectangular piston where in the edges are chamfered?

If you mean in a car engine, it's because an explosion (even a controlled one of the gasoline/petrol being ignited by a spark plug) creates a spherical force. So, the cylindrical piston is the same shape as the explosion, and gets the most efficient pressure distribution. A rectangular piston would get force in the middle, but not the edges, and it would take more force to do the same job. Also, the rectangular piston would wear down faster because of the uneven force being applied.


Why do people use a cylinder paint can instead of a rectangular can of paint?

Probably because there is no rectangular can available. A cylinder is used because it holds pressure equally on all sides. A rectangle would tend to split at the corners.


How many vertices does a rectangular prism have?

Did you mean vertices? A rectangular prism would have 8 vertices.


What is the area of a pencil case?

The area of a pencil case depends on its shape. If it is a rectangular prism, you would calculate the area by multiplying the length by the width. If it is a cylindrical pencil case, you would use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder, which is 2πrh + 2πr^2, where r is the radius and h is the height.


How many flat surfaces does a rectangular has?

A "rectangular" is an adjective, not a noun and so there is no way of knowing what the shape is. It could be a rectangular 2-d shape, a rectangular pyramid, a rectangular prism and they would all have different answers.


Do the four sides on a rectangular prism have to be equal?

no, they have to unequal if they are equal then it is not a rectangular prism it would be a cube


How is a cube and rectangular prism the same?

A cube is a special case of a rectangular prism. If each edge of a rectangular prism were of the same measure, then it would be a cube.


What is a solid figure in which all six faces are rectangles with three pairs of opposite faces that are parallel and congruent?

A cuboid would fit the given ------------------- I would call it a "box", but mathematicians might also call it a rectangular box, a rectangular cuboid, a right cuboid, a rectangular hexahedron, a rectangular parallelepiped, or a right rectangular prism.


What form of matter has no definite shape but has a definite volume?

The state of matter that has definite volume, but indefinite shape is the liquid state. A solid constantly has the same shape and volume. A wooden block (solid) will not change its shape or volume unless it is melted, but that would involve changing it from solid to liquid. A liquid constantly has the same volume, but its shape changes. Find a cylindrical container that has the same volume as a rectangular container. Fill the cylindrical container with water. Then, pour the water to the rectangular container. The shape of the water changed from cylindrical to rectangular and the volume remained the same, unless some water was dropped in the process. A gas has changing shape and volume. Find a small container full of a colored gas. Open in it inside a room. The gas will spread all over the room. Its volume changed from the volume of the container to the size of the room. Its shape has changed from the shape of the container to the shape of the room.


What is an example of a rectangular pyramid which is not a pyramid?

If it is rectangular pyramid then it must be pyramidal in shape: otherwise it would not be called that!


What shape has one and only one rectangular face?

There are many shapes that have one and only one rectangular face, but an example of one would be a rectangular pyramid.
