Oh, dude, you're almost there! A prism actually has 2 bases and 3 faces. The bases are the flat surfaces at the top and bottom, and the faces are the sides that connect those bases. So, like, close but not quite!

A prism is a three-dimensional shape with two parallel and congruent polygonal bases connected by rectangular or parallelogram faces. Therefore, a prism typically has 2 bases and 4 lateral faces. The total number of faces on a prism can vary depending on the shape of the bases and the type of prism (e.g., triangular prism, rectangular prism).
Oh, what a lovely question! A prism is a beautiful shape that does indeed have 2 bases and 4 faces. The bases are the flat sides at the top and bottom, while the faces are the flat sides that connect them. Isn't it wonderful how shapes come together to create such harmony in the world?
Well, honey, technically a prism has 2 bases and 5 faces. The bases are the two parallel sides, and the other faces are the rectangular sides connecting those bases. So, whoever told you a prism has 4 faces needs to go back to geometry class.
Yes providing that it is a cuboid prism which in effect has 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices
A prism *always* has 2 bases. In case you meant "faces" instead of "bases", the prism with the smallest number of faces is the triangular prism - which has 5 faces. If there were any fewer number of faces, the prism which become a two dimensional object.
It has 2 bases and 12 faces
Triangular prism
A hexagonal prism
An octagonal prism is a solid which has 8 faces with each face having 8 sides, and 2 Bases.
