Well, hello there, friend! Prisms and pyramids are like happy little shapes in our geometric world. A prism has two parallel bases that are the same shape and size, while a pyramid has one base and triangular sides that meet at a single point called the apex. Just remember, whether you're working with prisms or pyramids, they both have their own special charm and beauty.

Prisms and pyramids are both polyhedrons, but they have distinct differences. Prisms have two parallel and congruent faces called bases, connected by rectangular or parallelogram faces called lateral faces. Pyramids, on the other hand, have one base and triangular lateral faces that converge at a single vertex called the apex. Additionally, prisms have the same shape and size cross-sections throughout, while pyramids do not.
There are an infinite number of shapes. A tetrahedron (triangular pyramid), a square-based pyramid, a pentagonal pyramid, a hexagonal pyramid, etc. A triangular prism, a rectangular prism (cuboid), a pentagonal prism, etc are some examples.
Some hexahedra are prisms or pyramids.
It could either be a triangular prism or a pentagonal pyramid
A decahedron. Some decahedron shapes are a nonagon-based pyramid, an octagon based prism, or a pentagon based di-pyramid.
the difference between a cone and a prism is that a cone has no edges and only one vertex and a prism has both edges and vertexes.
