- A cylinder consists of 2 flat ends and a curved surface while a prism contains two polygons for the two ends and the remaining are plain rectangular faces. A cylinder does not have any diagonals while a prism contains many. A cylinder consists of only one shape while a prism has many shapes depending on the shape of the two ends.

The difference between a cylinder and a prism is that a cylinder is basically a tube that is composed of a rectangle whose base is the circumference of the circle and two parallel congruent circles whereas a prism is a solid figure that has two parallel congruent sides known as the bases which are connected by the lateral faces that are ...
There are many different types of prisms and cylinders, each with their own unique properties. Some examples include rectangular prisms , pentagonal prisms , triangular cylinders , and elliptical cylinders .
Prisms. Go to Surface Area or Volume. A prism is a solid object with: identical ends. flat faces. and the same cross section all along its length ! A cross section is the shape made by cutting straight across an object. The cross section of this object is a triangle ...
Prisms and cylinders are three-dimensional geometric shapes with distinct characteristics. A prism has two congruent bases that are polygons, while a cylinder has two congruent circular bases. Both shapes have a lateral surface that connects the bases.
For example, below are three different types of prisms: The name of the prism is represented by the shape of its cross section. Faces, edges and vertices. A prism can be characterised using three features: faces, vertices and edges: Face: a closed, flat surface surrounded by edges and vertices. Edge: connects two vertices with a straight line.
Prisms are only one member in a larger group of geometric surfaces. That larger group is the set of cylinders. A cylinder is a surface that consists of two congruent simple closed curves lying in parallel planes and the segments that connect them.
For a circular cylinder the base area is π r 2 (where r is radius) so we get: Volume of Circular Cylinder = (π r 2) × Height. For a square prism the base area is s 2 (where s is side length) so we get: Volume of Square Prism = (s 2) × Height. For other prisms we just have to work out the base area.
