Prism angle

[Loki123]

If it says that one side of a prism is leaning to the base of the prism at 60 degrees, would that mean the first drawing or the second?

Does the question say a triangular prism?

Your diagrams are not prisms. Google the definition of a prism.

Does the question say a triangular prism?

Yes, it's exactly the one I drew.

 

[Harry_the_cat]

No they are not prisms. Prisms have a constant cross-section.

 

[Harry_the_cat]

Can you state the question exactly as given to you?

 

[Loki123]

No they are not prisms. Prisms have a constant cross-section.

Right, sorry, this is a regular three-sided fringed pyramids. English is not my first language I thought these would still classify as prisms.

Can you state the question exactly as given to you?

It's not a question given to me. I had a thought. How would I draw a prism, a pyramid, if it said one of the sides was leaning to the base at a certain angle.

"fringed" ??

 

[Harry_the_cat]

Is the base a triangle?

 

[Loki123]

"fringed" ??

idk a pyramid without the top part, it's the translation i got for it.

 

[Loki123]

Is the base a triangle?

yes, but i am sure this question could work for any.

 

[Harry_the_cat]

idk a pyramid without the top part, it's the translation i got for it.

That's called a "truncated" pyramid.

I think in this context, a "side" or "face" is a plane, not an "edge" which is a line.
Can you please redraw your first diagram using dotted lines as well to make it clearer?

60 degrees is the angle between one of the trapezoidal sides and the base.
