Are Pyramids and prisms are named by the shape of their bases?
yes
How are prisms named?
Prisms consist of two polygonal "bases" and rectangular faces joining them. Prisms are named after the polygonal bases.
The difference between cylinders and prisms is that cylinders have 2 bases whereas the bases of prisms are?
... whereas one of the "bases" of prisms are vertices.
3d shape that has two opposite identical faces and some other faces which are parallelograms?
The 3D shape that fits this description is a prism. Prisms have two identical, parallel bases, and the other faces are parallelograms that connect the corresponding edges of the bases.
Do triangular prisms always have two bases that are equilateral?
No, Triangular prisms have two bases that are triangular but these need not be equilateral.

What is a prims that has two hexagons bases and the other faces rectangles?
it is called a hexagonal prism prisms are named by the shape of their bases
Do all prisms with the same height and base area have the same shape?
No. The fact that the bases have the same area says nothing about the shape of the bases.
The difference between cylinders and prisms is that cylinders have 2 bases whereas the bases of prisms are?
... whereas one of the "bases" of prisms are vertices.
What is used to name prisms?

How prism being classified?
Prisms are classified according to the shape of the two congruent and parallel plane shapes which form its bases.

What are oblique prism?
Oblique prisms are prisms whose bases are not perpendicular to their length.
How will you name different prisms and pyramids?
Most of the common ones have already been named, so I will not be naming any. Prisms and pyramids are named according to the 2-dimensional shape of their base(s). For example, triangular prism or square based pyramid.
What is a three dimensional shape that is named for its bases?
A prism or a pyramid
