Is there a square prism?
technically a square prism would be a cube, so i guess not. Ignore that answer. There IS a square prism. A cube has all of its faces congruent and squares. A square prism can have 2 square bases and 4 rectangular lateral faces making it a square prism. Think of it as a rectangular prism right? Well replace the rectangle bases with squares and you have a square prism!
How many bases does a prism have?
It depends on what kind of prism you mean. For example, a rectangular prism has 6 bases and a triangular prism has 5 bases. A triangular prism only has two bases.
Shapes of bases on a hexagonal prism?
Square
How many square faces does a rectangular prism with square bases have?
four
Is a cube a square prism?
think of it.. a square prism has a rectangular body and square bases. while a cube has six equal faces (with no rectangular body) so that is a NO.
How do you determine the base of a prism?
Look at the prism. If all faces are rectangular (or square) then so are the bases. Otherwise they are the two congruent parallel faces that are not rectangular. Look at the prism.

What is the shape or kind of face on a triangular prism?
A prism has a variety of bases but the sides are always parallelograms. A triangular prism has a triangle as the two bases and parallelograms as lateral sides. A pyramid has a variety of bases but the sides are triangles.
What kind of prism has bases with three sides?
A triangular prism has a base that is a triange; a triangle has three sides.
Bases of a prism?
it depends what kind of a prism you are talking about but it has two !!!
Does a triangular prism have 5 bases?
A traingular prism has 5 faces. Normally, with prisms the non-rectangular sides are called the bases. In that situation there are two triangular bases and three [lateral] rectangular faces. This kind of distinction falls apart when considering rectangular prisms (cuboids). a cylinder has one base if the base of a cylinder is composed of line segments it is called a prism a prism has one base if the base of a cylinder is a rectangle its called a rectangular prism if the base of a cylinder is a square and the height is equal to the length of a side of the square it is called a cube
How many bases does a rectangular cube have?
A rectangular cube (a cuboid) is a kind of prism and, by convention, prisms have two bases.
What does a triangular prism have that rectangular prism does not have?
a triangular prism has to triangular bases while a rectangular prism has a rectangle as the bases.
