Yes, a prism has an even number of vertices. A prism is a three-dimensional shape with two parallel and congruent polygonal bases connected by rectangular or parallelogram faces. The number of vertices in a prism is equal to the number of vertices in its bases plus the number of vertices in the lateral faces. Since each base has an equal number of vertices, and the lateral faces have an even number of vertices, the total number of vertices in a prism is always even.

Every prism has vertices. They have an even number of vertices, with a minimum of 6 and no maximum.
for any prism , number of ___ + number of vertices = number of edges + ___
6 vertices
It has 12 vertices
You count the number of vertices in the polygon that forms the base. The prism has twice as many vertices.
