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.
If s prism has a base that is a twelve sided polygon the prism has how many vertices?
24 vertices
Could any polyhedron be the base of a pyramid?
No. Polyhedra are three-dimensional objects, and the base of any prism, strictly speaking, should be two-dimensional. Any convex polygon (which is two-dimensional) can form the base of a pyramid. A circle, which is technically not a polygon, is the only convex two-dimensional figure that cannot form the base of a pyramid because it forms the base of a cone.
A cylinder is a prism?
No, a prism has flat sides. Triangular prisms are very common, but any polygon can be the cross section of a prism.
Any face of a prism can be considered as a base?
Any face that is not a base is a what
