what is a polygon @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

any shape made of straight lines (eg: triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon, hexagon) the shape is closed like walls in a house

OpenStudy (hotpinkgirl):

is it a square????? @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well actually a rectangular prism is made up of 6 rectangles (glued to form a 3D shape)

OpenStudy (hotpinkgirl):

a cube??????

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah it's like a cube but not really

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

rectangular prism = 3D box

OpenStudy (hotpinkgirl):

i dont know?????

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

rectangular prism http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/43100/43151/prism-quad21_43151_lg.gif

OpenStudy (hotpinkgirl):

so its a rectangular prism?????@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

think of the original question What kind of polygon is included a net of a triangular prism and a net of a rectangular prism?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and look at the nets I gave you

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

all you have to do is list the shapes

OpenStudy (hotpinkgirl):

the two shapes that i see are a square and a triangle

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it's not a square though, it's a rectangle

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so rectangle and triangle for triangular prism

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and just rectangle for rectangular prism (there are no other shapes for this one)

OpenStudy (hotpinkgirl):

so its a rectangle

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for rectangular prism, yep just that

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for triangular prism, rectangles and triangles

OpenStudy (hotpinkgirl):
