A pyramid is a generic term for a 3-D polyhedron which has a polygonal base and triangular lateral faces that meet at an apex above the base. If the polygonal base has n sides, the pyramid has n+1 faces, n+1 vertices and 2n edges.
A pyramid can, therefore have 4 or more vertices. So, there is bound to be a pyramid that will have the same number of vertices as a triangular prism (6).

How many more vertices does a triangle prism have than a square pyramid?
Triangular prism has 6 vertices. Square pyramid has 5 vertices. Answer: 1 vertex.
What is the number of faces vertices and edges of a rectangular prism and a rectangular pyramid?
for any prism , number of ___ + number of vertices = number of edges + ___
How many vertices are in a triangle-based prism?
Vertices refers to the angles (and is the plural form of vertex). If your "triangle-based prism" has triangles for every face including the base, then it would have three vertices at the base (the bottom triangle) and one at the top (where the three side triangles meet) for a total of four vertices. By "triangle-based prism" you could also mean a pyramid shape with a square base consisting of four vertices at the base and one at the top where the four side triangles meet, in which case there would be five total vertices. * * * * * Total rubbish! A prism is a prism and not a pyramid! A triangle based prism is one with two congruent and parallel triangular faces, joined together by three rectangular faces (like a Toblerone box). It has 6 vertices. A triangular prism has as much to do with a triangular pyramid as an icosahedron!
Is a triangle based pyramid a prism?
No because a triangular based pyramid is a tetrahedron that has 4 faces, 6 edges and 4 vertices
Does a hexagonal prism have the same number of vertices as a hexagon-based pyramid?
NO
How many more vertices does a triangle prism have than a square pyramid?
Triangular prism has 6 vertices. Square pyramid has 5 vertices. Answer: 1 vertex.
Does a triangular prism and pyramid have the same number of vertices?
No. A triangular prism has six vertices. A square pyramid has five vertices. A triangular pyramid has four vertices.
What is the number of faces vertices and edges of a rectangular prism and a rectangular pyramid?
for any prism , number of ___ + number of vertices = number of edges + ___
What type of prism and pyramid have the same number of vertices?
polygon
How much number of vertices does triangular have?
A triangular prism has six vertices. A triangular pyramid has four vertices.

How many more vertices does a rectangular prism than a rectangular pyramid?
Rectangular prism has 3 more vertices than rectangular pyramid. Rectangular prism has 8 vertices. Rectangular pyramid has 5 vertices.
Is a triangle based pyramid a prism?
No because a triangular based pyramid is a tetrahedron that has 4 faces, 6 edges and 4 vertices
How many vertices does a square pyramid have than a triangulare prism?
A square pyramid has 5 vertices. A triangular prism has 6 vertices.
How many vertices does a rectangular prism have than a rectangular pyramid?
Rectangular prism has 8 vertices. Rectangular pyramid has 5 vertices.
Does a hexagonal prism have the same number of vertices as a hexagon-based pyramid?
NO
How many more vertices does a trianglular prism to a pyramid?
A triangular prism has 6 vertices. A pyramid whose base is a polygon with n sides (n > 2) has n+1 vertices. So the answer is 5 - n more vertices. Incidentally, this shows that a pentagonal based pyramid (n = 5) has the same number of vertices as a triangular prism.
