What statements about prisms are always true if the top base is directly above the bottom base?The bases are congruent.The bases can be any shape.The lateral faces are rectangles.The lateral faces are congruent.
Accepted Solution
A:
The following are true:
1. The bases are congruent. This is what makes it a prism.
3. When the bases are polygons- which they should be for it to be a prism, the lateral faces are rectangles. This is always true because the edges of the polygon wil create a rectangle when it connects to the other edge on the opposite side of the prism.
