It will look like a cone-shaped party hat from the side and a bullseye from the top.

A triangular prism that is sitting on one of its rectangular faces MUST have a slanted top!
A triangle.

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

A triangle.
The question is too ambiguous because, depending on its orientation, the top of a triangular prism can be a triangualar face, a rectangular face or an edge.
An edge is a place where two faces (or sides) are connected, similar to if you folded a piece of paper in half... the folded part is like the edge of a prism. The vertices are the points, like the top of a triangular prism or the top of a pyramid.
A triangular prism has a uniformed cross-section whereas a rectangular pyramid does not.
There is not such a shape. Assuming we are speaking of a triangular prism with a jut in the bottom and at the top like a water bottle, there would be 8 vertices on the pyramid prism.
a triangle
The answer depends on the orientation of the prism. Generally, the top view is a rectangle. The side view is either a triangle, a parallelogram or a rectangle, depending on the position.
Um.... 4 a top view is just the point and the side view show the side of the triangle
