the simularites are they have the same vertices and edges
the difference is a triangular pyramid has a point at the top and a triangular prism doesn't and a triangular pyramid has a square at the bottom and tringular prism doesn't
Triangular prism: 2 triangles, 3 rectangles Triangular pyramid: 4 triangles.
square pyramid
A pyramid is a triangular 3D shape. A prism can be rectangular too.
A triangular prism is a pentahedron, a triangular pyramid is a tetrahedron.
A triangular prism has a uniformed cross-section whereas a rectangular pyramid does not.
A prism has 2 bases and a pyramid has only one base.
A triangular pyramid has 4 vertices, while a triangular prism has 6. Therefore, a triangular prism has 2 more vertices than a triangular pyramid.
rectangular prism
A triangular prism.
Rectangular prism = 6Triangular prism = 5 Triangular pyramid = 4 Rectangular prism: it is still 6 Rectangular pyramid = 5.
five A triangular based prism has 5 A triangular based pyramid has 4 and there is no such thing as a triangular based prism pyramid - unless you mean a truncated pyramid (or a frustum) which is essentially a prism.
