NO. IT IS NOT.
A prism and a pyramid are two different things.
A prism has two polygonal faces (bases) at either end, and a set of quadrilateral faces joining them.
A pyramid has one polygonal base and triangular faces from that base that meet at a point - the apex.
So, NO. Basically, the two are very very different.

Does a triangular prism and a triangular pyramid have the same number of faces?
No.
Which has more sides pyramid or triangular prism?
depends what kind of pyramid, if its a four sided pyramid then its the same but if its a three sided pyramid then the triangular prism has more
Do a triangular prism and a square pyramid have the same number of faces?
yes
How many bases and faces does a triangular pyramid have?
Bases and faces are the same, so a triangular prism will have 6 faces/bases.
What shape has five sides and five faces?
A side is the same thing as a face. A quadrilateral based pyramid or triangular prism are the two possible polyhedra.
Does a triangular prism and pyramid have the same number of vertices?
No. A triangular prism has six vertices. A square pyramid has five vertices. A triangular pyramid has four vertices.
Does a triangular prism and a triangular pyramid have the same number of faces?
No.
Which has more sides pyramid or triangular prism?
depends what kind of pyramid, if its a four sided pyramid then its the same but if its a three sided pyramid then the triangular prism has more
Is a triangular prism has the same surface area as a pyramid with a triangular base true or false?
False, the prism can be of any length.
Do a triangular prism and a square pyramid have the same number of faces?
yes
What are the simularites between a triangular prism and a pyramid?
the simularites are they have the same vertices and edges
Are rectangular and triangular prisms pentagonal prisms?
A rectangular prism is like a chalkboard eraser. A triangular prism is a pyramid. A pentagonal prism is a three dimensional home plate. None of them are the same.
How many bases and faces does a triangular pyramid have?
Bases and faces are the same, so a triangular prism will have 6 faces/bases.
What shape has five sides and five faces?
A side is the same thing as a face. A quadrilateral based pyramid or triangular prism are the two possible polyhedra.
How are they the same a triangular prism and a pyramid?
They both have three equal sides and are both in 3-D.
Does a square pyramid have the same number of faces as a triangular prism?
yes because they both have 5 faces
How many more vertices does a trianglular prism to a pyramid?
A triangular prism has 6 vertices. A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n sides (n > 2) has n+1 vertices. So the answer is 5 - n more vertices. Incidentally, this shows that a pentagonal based pyramid (n = 5) has the same number of vertices as a triangular prism.
