 Hello and welcome to this session. Today I will help you with the following question. The question says, how are prisms and cylinders alike? Let's move on to the solution. First let's see what a prism is. A prism is a polyhedron whose base and top are congruent polygons and whose lateral faces and holograms in shape. Let's see what a cylinder is. A cylinder is a three-dimensional figure similar to prism. At its bases are congruent circles state of polygons. Let's have a look at the figure. Now this is a cylinder. These are the two bases of the cylinder and this is the lateral face. Now this is a prism. These are the bases and these are the lateral faces. According to the definition of the prism the base and the top are congruent polygons and these lateral faces are parallelograms. And the cylinder is similar to the prism but the bases are in the circular shapes instead of polygons as in the prism. We can say that when the number of sides of base of a prism becomes larger and larger it becomes a cylinder. Therefore we say prism and cylinder will answer is a prism becomes a cylinder as the number of sides of its base becomes larger and larger. So hope you enjoyed the session. Have a good day.
