In geometry, an n-sided prism is a polyhedron made of an n-sided polygonal base, a translated copy, and n faces joining corresponding sides. Thus these joining faces are parallelograms. All ...

Our world is made up of elegant shapes — there's the square, the rectangle, the sphere, the prism and many more. But sometimes, these shapes don't quite fit nature's game board. Sometimes, you also ...

A prism has a constant cross-section throughout its length. When the cross-section is a triangle, the prism is called a triangular prism. When the cross-section is a hexagon, the prism is called a ...

There's been an exciting, new development in the action-packed world of geometric shapes. Researchers from the the University of Seville and Seville Institute of Biomedicine have discovered a new ...

I’m not entirely satisfied that there’s any definition of the word ‘shape’ that would indicate that there are a finite number of extant geometric shapes in existence, just waiting to be discovered, ...

3D shapes can be made from 2D shapes called nets. Watch the video to learn how 3D shapes, such as a cube, can be created from nets, an arrangement of 2D shapes. Let's talk about nets. More ...
