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.

What is the least amount of bases a prism can have?
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.

What shape has exactly 5 faces and 2 bases?
A pentagonal prism has 7 sides : 5 side faces and 2 bases.However, if all sides of the prism are considered faces, a shape with5 total faces including the 2 bases is a triangular prism.

What are the names of faces on a triangular prism?
There are 3 rectangular faces and 2 triangular faces. The triangles are the bases.
What 3 demensional shape has 2 octagons and 8 rectangles?
The three-dimensional shape that has 2 octagons and 8 rectangles is called a truncated octagonal prism. A truncated octagonal prism is a polyhedron with 10 faces, including 2 octagonal faces and 8 rectangular faces. The octagonal faces are the bases of the prism, while the rectangular faces are the lateral faces that connect the bases.
