Prisms come in many shapes and sizes but all prisms must have flat sides - no curved sides so a Pyramid having flat sides and no curves is a prism. * * * * * That is utter rubbish. Both pyramids and prisms are polyhedra. That means they are solid shapes bounded by plane faces. Neither of them can have curved faces. A pyramid has one polygonal base and triangular faces that rise from the base and meet at an apex. A prism has two congruent parallel bases that are linked together by rectangular faces. Both terms are generic: they do not specify the polygonal bases.
Both cones and pyramids have one base and they all have a vertex, or they all come to a point. That is what makes them alike. What make them different is that a cone has one curved edge at its base, and a pyramid has 6 to 8 edges which is not curved
Prisms have a uniform cross-section - a side of it is repeated throughout the shape.
Not true.
Well, hello there, friend! Prisms and pyramids are like happy little shapes in our geometric world. A prism has two parallel bases that are the same shape and size, while a pyramid has one base and triangular sides that meet at a single point called the apex. Just remember, whether you're working with prisms or pyramids, they both have their own special charm and beauty.
