Prisms come in many shapes and sizes but all prisms must have flat sides - no curved sides so a Pyramid having flat sides and no curves is a prism.

That is utter rubbish.
Both pyramids and prisms are polyhedra. That means they are solid shapes bounded by plane faces. Neither of them can have curved faces.
A pyramid has one polygonal base and triangular faces that rise from the base and meet at an apex. A prism has two congruent parallel bases that are linked together by rectangular faces.
Both terms are generic: they do not specify the polygonal bases.

What are some differences between a prism and a pyramid?
Prisms have 2 bases while a pyramid has 1 base
What are facts about the difference between a pyramid and a triangular prism?
Pyramids only have square bases.Triangular prisms have triangle bases.Pyramids have triangle "faces".Triangular prisms have rectangular "faces".
Is a hexahedron a prism or a pyramid?
Some hexahedra are prisms or pyramids.
How do you find the similarity ratios of two similar prisms?
Measure any two corresponding edges. The ratio of these edges is the similarity ratio.
What is the main difference between a prism and a pyramid?
Pyramids end in one vertex and prisms end in multiple vertices. E.g. Rectangular Prisms are like cubes( multiple vertices) and pyramids are like cones (one vertex).
How are prisms and pyramids alike?
Both pyramids and prisms are three dimensional. Both of them have polygon faces. Another thing common about pyramids and prisms is that they have a base and faces.
What are similarities and differences between a prism and a pyramid?
Similarity: both of them are solid. Difference: prisms have planes that are parallel to each other whereas pyramids does not have planes which are parallel to each other. XDXD

How geometric pyramids and prisms are different?
the difference between a pyramid and prism (in geometry) is that a pyramid has one base and lateral faces that are triangles where prisms have two congruent bases and lateral faces that are parallelograms
What are facts about the difference between a pyramid and a triangular prism?
Pyramids only have square bases.Triangular prisms have triangle bases.Pyramids have triangle "faces".Triangular prisms have rectangular "faces".
What is the relationship between prisms and pyramids?
pyramids are prisms. * * * * * Pyramids are not prisms nor are prisms pyramids. A pyramid has one polygonal base. Each side of that polygon is connected to a triangle, whose third vertices meet at a point above the base of the pyramid. A prism has two congruent polygonal bases that are parallel to one another. They are joined together by rectangles.
What is the similarity between a cone and a pyramid?
They both ave a wide base and come to a point.
Is a hexahedron a prism or a pyramid?
Some hexahedra are prisms or pyramids.

How are rectangular prisms and pyramids are the same?
they are the same because, they both have rectangular bases. Rectangular prisms are rectangular from the top and bottom (they are flat) while a rectangular pyramid has a point on the top where all of the edges meet. A pyramid has a tip at the top which unables it to stand on the tip while prisms can anyways.
What is the difference between a regular prism and a regular pyramid?
Pyramids Have only one base, Prisms have two bases/sides that are opposite and exactly the same.
