Question

Which of the following are true regarding the given figure?

• A. The given solid is a pentagonal prism.
• B. Two of the faces are hexagon and the rest are rectangles.
• C. The cross-sectional area of the figure is not constant.
• D. Only one of the faces is hexagon and remaining faces are squares.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Two of the faces are hexagon and the rest are rectangles.

The given solid is a hexagonal prism as

1) it has two opposite identical hexagonal faces

2) edges joining these faces are parallel lines

3) all the lateral faces are rectangles

An important property of a prism is that the cross-sectional area is constant.
