All prisms have two bases.
No, not all prisms are cylinders. A prism is defined as a polyhedron with two parallel, congruent bases connected by rectangular faces, while a cylinder is a specific type of prism with circular bases. Therefore, while all cylinders can be classified as prisms, not all prisms fit the cylindrical shape.
... whereas one of the "bases" of prisms are vertices.
Prisms consist of two polygonal "bases" and rectangular faces joining them. Prisms are named after the polygonal bases.
No, it is not always true that two prisms with congruent bases are similar. For two prisms to be similar, their corresponding dimensions must be in proportion, not just their bases. While congruent bases indicate that the shapes of the bases are the same, the heights or scaling of the prisms can differ, affecting their similarity. Thus, two prisms can have congruent bases but still not be similar if their heights or other dimensions differ.
It has two bases, as is the case with all prisms.

Prisms consist of two polygonal "bases" and rectangular faces joining them. Prisms are named after the polygonal bases.
Prisms have two parallel and congruent bases. These bases are connected by rectangular or parallelogram-shaped sides, creating a three-dimensional shape. Examples of prisms include rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, and hexagonal prisms.

No, Triangular prisms have two bases that are triangular but these need not be equilateral.
A rectangular cube (a cuboid) is a kind of prism and, by convention, prisms have two bases.
All cylinders and all prisms share the attributes of having two parallel bases connected by rectangular lateral faces. These bases are congruent and can be any polygon for prisms, while cylinders have circular bases. Unlike some other polyhedra, both cylinders and prisms maintain uniform cross-sections along their height, allowing for consistent shape throughout. Additionally, both shapes have a defined volume calculated from their base area and height.
Oblique prisms are prisms whose bases are not perpendicular to their length.
