Rectangular prism is also called a ________. Fill in the blank to make the statement true.

Solution:

Given, Rectangular prism is also called a ________.

We have to fill in the blanks to make the statement true.

A prism is a polyhedron whose bottom and top faces are congruent polygons and faces known as lateral faces are parallelograms.

A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional shape, having six faces, where all the faces (top, bottom, and lateral faces) of the prism are rectangles such that all the pairs of the opposite faces are congruent.

It has 6 faces in all, out of which there are 3 pairs of identical opposite faces, i.e., all the opposite faces are identical in a rectangular prism.

A rectangular prism has 6 faces, 12 edges (sides) and 8 vertices (corners). In the 12 edges, 3 edges intersect to form right angles at each vertex.

Therefore, a rectangular prism is also known as a cuboid.
