What is the difference about pyramid and prism?

A pyramid has one polygonal base and the rest of the faces are triangles. A prism has two congruent polygonal bases and the other faces are rectangles.


What is a prism with triangular faces called?

If it has only two triangles then it is a triangle based prism. If it is has two n-sided polygonal faces and n triangles then it is a n-polygonal antiprism.


How do you identify a prism?

A prism is a polyhedron - a 3-dimensional shape with polygonal faces. It has two identical and parallel polygonal faces that are "joined together" by rectangular faces. A prism whose bases are n-sided polygons has 2n vertices, n+2 faces and 3n edges.


Is a prism a polyhedron reason?

Yes. It is a solid figure that is bounded by polygonal faces.


Is a prism a pyrimid?

No. A prism has one face which is an n-sided polygon and n triangular faces meeting at a point whereas a prism has two m-sided polygonal faces, and m rectangular faces joining them.

Is a cube a prism?

According to Websters: Prism: a polyhedron with two polygonal faces lying in parallel planes and with the other faces parallelograms. That would describe a cube. so Yes.


Is a triangular prism the same thing as pyramid?

Basically, yes. Basically, yes. * * * * * NO. IT IS NOT. A prism and a pyramid are two different things. A prism has two polygonal faces (bases) at either end, and a set of quadrilateral faces joining them. A pyramid has one polygonal base and triangular faces from that base that meet at a point - the apex. So, NO. Basically, the two are very very different.


What is a prism in geometry?

A prism is a 3-dimensional shape with the following properties: It has 2 identical, polygonal faces whose planes are parallel. The corresponding edges of the polygons are connected by rectangular faces.
