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!
An octagonal prism has 16 vertices
Not sure how many a rectagular prism douse have but a rectangular prism does have 8 vertices.
A prism with 9 faces is a heptagonal prism. That has 14 vertices.
You count the number of vertices in the polygon that forms the base. The prism has twice as many vertices.
A rectangular prism has 8 vertices/corners.
Did you mean vertices? A rectangular prism would have 8 vertices.
There are 4 vertices's on a triangular prism
A square prism has 8 vertices.
An octagonal prism has 16 vertices
A rectangular prism has 8 vertices. A rectangular prism is a cuboid and that has 8 vertices. A rectangular prism will have 8 vertices.
A rectangular prism has 8 vertices. A rectangular prism is a cuboid and that has 8 vertices. A rectangular prism will have 8 vertices.
A pentagonal prism has 10 vertices. A rectangular prism has 8 vertices. Therefore, a pentagonal prism has 2 more vertices than a rectangular prism.
there are 6 vertices in a triangular prism.6
A triangular prism has six vertices.
Not sure how many a rectagular prism douse have but a rectangular prism does have 8 vertices.
There are 10 vertices on a pentagonal prism. In geometry, a pentagonal prism is a prism that has 7 faces, 15 edges, and 10 vertices.
