A triangular pyramid is a four sided 3D shape. All four sides are triangles. It resembles a 'traditional' pyramid, like the ones in Egypt.
A triangular prism is a five sided 3D shape. It consists of two identical triangular sides connected by three identical rectangular sides. think of it as a cylinder with triangles on the ends and three sides instead of a smooth surface.
square pyramid
Rectangular prism = 6Triangular prism = 5 Triangular pyramid = 4 Rectangular prism: it is still 6 Rectangular pyramid = 5.
A triangular prism.
A prism has 2 bases and a pyramid has 5 faces
A triangular pyramid.
the difference is a triangular pyramid has a point at the top and a triangular prism doesn't and a triangular pyramid has a square at the bottom and tringular prism doesn't
Triangular prism: 2 triangles, 3 rectangles Triangular pyramid: 4 triangles.

A pyramid is a triangular 3D shape. A prism can be rectangular too.
A triangular prism is a pentahedron, a triangular pyramid is a tetrahedron.
A triangular prism has a uniformed cross-section whereas a rectangular pyramid does not.
A prism has 2 bases and a pyramid has only one base.
A triangular pyramid has 4 vertices, while a triangular prism has 6. Therefore, a triangular prism has 2 more vertices than a triangular pyramid.
rectangular prism
Rectangular prism = 6Triangular prism = 5 Triangular pyramid = 4 Rectangular prism: it is still 6 Rectangular pyramid = 5.
Well if you mean triangular pyramid and triangular prism then: A triangular pyramid is a geometric solid with a base that is a triangle and all other faces are triangles with a common vertex. A triangular prism is a geometric solid with two bases that are congruent (identical), parallel triangles and all other faces are parallelograms. It is referred to as a right triangular prism if the faces are rectangles.
