JordanWell, 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.

What 3d shape has more then 1 vertex?
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.
Is a hexahedron a prism or a pyramid?
Some hexahedra are prisms or pyramids.
Which shape has some triangular faces and six vertices?
It could either be a triangular prism or a pentagonal pyramid
What solid figure has 10 faces in all?
A decahedron. Some decahedron shapes are a nonagon-based pyramid, an octagon based prism, or a pentagon based di-pyramid.
What are some difference between cone and a prism?
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.
