If a prism has a 32-sided base, then the prism has 32 rectangular sides and two sides (bases) that are 32-sided polygons. That makes 34 sides in total.
A prism is a generic term. It describes a solid shape bounded by two congruent polygons (with n sides each), and n rectangles joining them together. The prism is names after the shape of the two polygons. A prism with an n-sided polygon as base has 2n vertices.
a prism is constructed from two parallel and congruent regular polygons. with vertices joined by edges of length equal to that of the polygons a pyramid has a square base and has 4 triangle joining at a vertex above the centre of the square base. the triangles are isosceles triangles (and can even be equilateral)
