Which of these every day object has the attributes of a right rectangular prism?
To determine which everyday object has the attributes of a right rectangular prism, we need to evaluate whether the object exhibits six faces that are all rectangular in shape and perpendicular to adjacent faces. Here are some everyday objects that meet these criteria:
1. A shoebox: It has six rectangular faces, with the length, width, and height forming right angles.
2. A cereal box: Similar to a shoebox, it also has six rectangular faces that meet at right angles.
3. A deck of cards: Although it consists of multiple rectangular cards, when the deck is stacked or kept in its original box, it forms a right rectangular prism.
4. A brick: Commonly used in construction, a brick has six rectangular faces, making it a right rectangular prism.
5. A dice: Although it is a cube, a cube is a special type of right rectangular prism where all edges and faces are equal. Hence, a dice can also be considered a right rectangular prism.
These examples represent a small fraction of everyday objects that can be categorized as right rectangular prisms.
