A rectangular prism does not have "sides" in the same way a 2D shape does. A rectangular prism has six faces.
A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional geometric shape. It is also known as a cuboid.
- Faces: A rectangular prism has 6 faces. These are the flat surfaces of the prism. All faces are rectangles.
- Edges: A rectangular prism has 12 edges. These are the line segments where two faces meet.
- Vertices: A rectangular prism has 8 vertices. These are the points where three or more edges meet.
The reference material provided confirms that a rectangular prism has six faces, which can be thought of as its sides in a 3D context. The video cited shows a visual demonstration of counting each of the six faces (front, back, left, right, top, and bottom).
