Examples
-
Among the first to be noticed are the hyperprism and hypercylinder with parallel line elements, and the hyerpyramid and hypercone with line elements meeting at a vertex.
-
A hyperprism with prism bases has for lateral boundary two prisms and a set of parallelopipeds.
-
The boundary of a hyperprism consists of the two polyhedron bases and a set of lateral prisms.
-
The hypercube is a very particular case of the hyperprism.
-
The lateral prisms have for bases the faces of the polyhedron bases of the hyperprism and are joined to one another by their lateral faces.
-
The hyperprism with prism bases and the hypercylinder with cylinder bases are, then, particular cases of a class of hypersolids which may be described as follows: Two polygons, or two closed plane curves, or a polygon and a plane curve are placed together so that they intersect but do not lie in a single three-space.
-
Thus the parallelogram and the polygon play the part of generating elements, each with the other for directrix in generating a portion of the hyperprism.
-
Such a figure may be considered in two ways as a hyperprism, the two lateral prisms in one case being the two bases in the other case.
