Question

practice identifying three - dimensional solids and the two - dimensional figures that created them. which statements are true regarding the prism? check all that apply. the prism has no vertices. the prism has 9 edges. the bases of the prism are triangles. the bases of the prism are rectangles. the prism has 5 faces.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall prism properties

A prism has vertices, edges, faces and bases.

Step2: Analyze vertices

A rectangular - prism (the given prism) has 8 vertices. So, "The prism has no vertices" is false.

Step3: Analyze edges

A rectangular - prism has 12 edges. So, "The prism has 9 edges" is false.

Step4: Analyze bases

The bases of the given prism are rectangles. So, "The bases of the prism are triangles" is false and "The bases of the prism are rectangles" is true.

Step5: Analyze faces

A rectangular - prism has 6 faces. So, "The prism has 5 faces" is false.

Answer:

The bases of the prism are rectangles.
