in 3d shapes, a prism must have two congruent bases, and all of the other sides must be made of congruent rectangles. (squares are rectangles.
A2. A prism is a solid with two parallel ends, and of constant cross-section between them. And normally with 90deg between the base and a side.
It may be of any number of sides, and as the number of sides gets large, the shape approaches that of a cylinder.
This is one item of the set of prismatoids, others of which can ignore the 90deg constraint and so on.

Any polygons
What makes a solid shape a prism?
A solid shape with regular area and height makes a prism. A solid shape with regular area and height makes a prism. A solid shape with regular area and height makes a prism.
What shape has 8 faces 12 vertices and 18 edges?
the shape that has 8 faces , 18 edges , and 12 vertices is simply a hexagonal prism not a pyramid my butt :P
Is the rectangle a prism?
because triangle is only 2d shape but a prism is 3d shape
What is a prism in algebra?
A prism is not so much a concept in algebra, but a geometric shape.
What shape does a triangular prism have than a rectangular prism does not have?
A triangular prism has two triangular faces, a rectangular prism does not have any.
Are cubes and cuboids types of prism?
yes, a prism is any 3-dimensional continuous shape
What shape is solid and has 6 faces on it?
Any kind of prism...:)
What shape are the side faces of right prism?
Any polygons
How do you work out the base area of a prism?
That depends on the shape of the base. A prism can have any sort of polygon for its base.
Is a fishtank a rectangular prism?
Yes. A prism is any shape where, if you slice it like a sausage, all the pieces are the same shape. For a fishtank, all the slices would be rectangles, and so it is a rectangular prism.
What is the shape of a Toblerone?
It is a triangular prism.
Is a shoe box a cube?
It can be any shape, a cube, rectangular prism.
What is a 3-dimensional geometric shape that has a total of 5 faces with 2 faces being triangles and the other 3 faces being rectangles?
That shape is called a triangular prism. A prism is made of rectangles arranged in a tube with any 2D shape at the ends. This shape determines what kind of prism it is, you can get pentagonal, hexagonal, and many other types of prism.
What is a prism shape?
Any 3D shape with a constant cross-section; in other words, a 2D shape stacked on top of itself, like a triangle on a Toblerone box. But it need not be a triangular shape that is stacked. A rectangular 2-d shape would give a cuboid. Any poygonals shape can be stacked for a prism. Not a piramid, or pyramid even, which is not a prism!
What makes a solid shape a prism?
A solid shape with regular area and height makes a prism. A solid shape with regular area and height makes a prism. A solid shape with regular area and height makes a prism.
