Question: 1 / 400

What is the name for a figure that has two congruent, parallel bases which are polygons?

Square

Pyramid

Cube

Prism

The figure with two congruent, parallel bases that are polygons is referred to as a prism. A prism is characterized by its two identical polygonal bases connected by lateral faces that are parallelograms, creating a three-dimensional shape. This means that regardless of the polygon shape used for the bases, the overall structure remains a prism as long as the two bases are parallel and congruent.

The other chosen options represent different types of geometric figures that do not fit this description. A square is a specific type of polygon and does not denote a three-dimensional figure. A pyramid has a polygonal base and triangular lateral faces that meet at a single point, unlike a prism which has parallel and congruent bases. A cube, while it has congruent, parallel faces, is specifically a type of prism where all faces are squares. This makes a prism the appropriate term for the described figure.
