The perpendicular distance between the ends of a prism is called the ___ of the prism.
square
line
height
base
A perpendicular line containing the flat surfaces of the prism is called its height. This can be understood from the diagram :
A prism is a 3-D figure obtained by moving the base (which is a plane) of the prism along a straight line. The base of a certain prism is cornered at 5 places, with each corner forming a certain angle. This prism is called a pentagonal prism, “penta” because it has 5 angles.
As you know that two lines are required to form an angle, we would require 10 lines to construct the base of this prism (2 lines each for one angle). Say True or False.
