alleryIn an oblique prism, how are the joining faces placed?
ANot perpendicular to base
BPerpendicular to the base
CAlways flat rectangles
DAlways flat squares
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Not perpendicular to base
1. In an oblique prism the joining edges and faces are not perpendicular to the base faces.
2. So the sides lean and are not all rectangles.
3. A right prism has the perpendicular, rectangular sides.
