Question

Differentiate between the given types of prism:
Right prism and oblique prism
Height and slant height of a pyramid
Prism and pyramid

Answer 1

Difference between Right prism and Oblique prism:

Right prism is a prism whose lateral edges are perpendicular to the base.

Oblique prism is a prism whose lateral edges are not perpendicular to

the base.

Difference between Height and slant height of a prism:

The perpendicular distance between the base and vertex of the pyramid

is height of pyramid $\left(h\right)$.

The perpendicular distance between vertex of pyramid to the edge of

the base is slant height $\left(L\right)$.

Difference between Prism and Pyramid:

Prism is a solid which has $2$ base.

Pyramid is a solid which has only $1$ base.
