just answer the first question sorry

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

well first...what is your definition of a polygon?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess regular polygon!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

prism?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thing a cylinder

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

@deena123 remember that a prism...is a 3 dimensional shape....a polygon is only 2 dimensional

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya ya sorry!

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

a polygon....is made up of straight lines.....what does a cylinder OR a cone look like on the bottom? straight lines?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Prism

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A Circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

circle is not a polygon!

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

exactly...so since there are no straight lines in a circle...it cannot be a cylinder nor a cone...and @choopers remember that a prism is a 3 dimensional shape.....a polygon will only have 2 dimensions.....the answer is a pyramid...what does the bottom of a pyramid look like?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no a circle bottom of a prism

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a triangle

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

correct....a triangle...straight lines

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

that's your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks what about this If the surface area of the rectangular prism is 256 cm2, what is the height?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

hmm...well the surface area is calculated by using the formula 2(wh + lw + lh) if we had any numbers we would be able to solve... not too sure on this one
