In optics a prism is a transparent solid body, often having triangular bases, used for dispersing light into a spectrum or for reflecting rays of light.
In geometry a prism is a solid having bases or ends that are parallel, congruent polygons and sides that are parallelograms.
In crystallography a prism is a form having faces parallel to the vertical axis and intersecting the horizontal axes.
prism refers to a shape, in a more vague term, such as a rectangular prism. which could even define a cube. a pyramid is a specific type of prism
The base of a prism refers to one of the two parallel and congruent faces that define the shape of the prism. These bases can be any polygon, and the height of the prism is the perpendicular distance between them. The lateral faces of the prism connect the corresponding sides of the two bases, creating a three-dimensional shape. The properties of the prism, such as its volume and surface area, are often calculated based on the shape and dimensions of the base.
There's the rectangular prism, the triangular prism, hexagonal prism, pentagonal prism, the cube, and the octagonal prism.
A Triangular Prism A Rectangular Prism An Octogonal Prism (basically 3D Shapes)
a triangular prism has to triangular bases while a rectangular prism has a rectangle as the bases.

"triangular" is an adjective - it is not enough to define a shape. You can have a triangular pyramid or a triangular prism and there will be different methods to calculate their volumes.

Yes, a hexagonal prism is a type of prism.
Prism - Prism album - was created in 1977.
a triangular prism is different from a rectangular prism because: their names are different a triangular prism has a triangle for its' base a rectangular prism has a rectangle base a triangular prism has less sides than a rectangular prism a rectangular prism has more sides than a triangular prism
There's the rectangular prism, the triangular prism, hexagonal prism, pentagonal prism, the cube, and the octagonal prism.
It depends on the prism. Is it a triangular prism, a rectangular prism, a pentagonal prism... etc..
A Triangular Prism A Rectangular Prism An Octogonal Prism (basically 3D Shapes)
A prism has the same cross section throughout its length no matter what form it may take i.e. a cubic prism, a cuboid prism, a triangular prism, a hexagonal prism, a cylindrical prism etc.
A triangular prism has a triangle and a rectangular prism doesn't.
There can be a heptagonal prism or an octagonal prism, but there is no such thing as a hectagonal prism.
