Not all polyhedrons are prisms or pyramids. A polyhedron is defined as a three-dimensional shape with flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and vertices. While prisms have two parallel faces (bases) connected by rectangular lateral faces, and pyramids have a base and triangular faces that converge at a point, there are other types of polyhedrons, such as irregular polyhedra, that do not fit these definitions. Examples include shapes like the truncated tetrahedron or the dodecahedron, which do not qualify as either prisms or pyramids.

All polyhedrons are prisms or pyramids.?

No. Polyhedrons are any shape with multiple sides. A triangle and a prism are just two different kinds of polyhedrons.

What is the same and different about a prism and a pyramid?

Well they are different shapes: prism: A solid object that has two identical ends and all flat sides. The cross section is the same all along its length. The shape of the ends give the prism a name, such as "triangular prism" It is also a polyhedron. Pyramid: A solid object where: The base is a polygon (a straight-sided shape) The sides are triangles which meet at the top (the apex). It is a polyhedron. This is a square pyramid, but there are also triangular pyramids, pentagonal pyramids, and so on. Difference: In a pyramid there are 4 faces which are triangular in shape and there is 1 face which is a square which is its base. On the other hand, A prism has 3 rectangular faces and 2 equilateral triangular faces which work as its base. Similarity: Both of them have triangular faces. Actually I don't find any similarity between them, except that and they are polyhedrons. Plus the base of a pyramid alters the name of the pyramid, just like the end of a prism does.


What are some polyhedrons with 10 edges?

I can just think of the pentagonal pyramid.
