They are a pair of congruent and parallel faces of a prism.
a triangular prism has to triangular bases while a rectangular prism has a rectangle as the bases.
Each and every prism has two parallel congruent bases. It is the shape of these bases that give the name to the prism: a pentagonal prism has pentagons (not necessarily regular) for its bases.
Prisms are categorized based on their base shapes and can include the following types: Triangular Prism – with triangular bases. Rectangular Prism – with rectangular bases, commonly seen in boxes. Pentagonal Prism – with pentagonal bases. Hexagonal Prism – with hexagonal bases, often used in honeycomb structures. Octagonal Prism – with octagonal bases. Circular Prism (Cylindrical Prism) – with circular bases, resembling a cylinder. Square Prism – a specific type of rectangular prism with square bases. Rhombic Prism – with rhombus-shaped bases. Trapezoidal Prism – with trapezoidal bases. Kite Prism – with kite-shaped bases. Each type has unique properties and applications based on its geometry.
A prism will always have at least TWO bases
A triangular prism
It depends on what kind of prism you mean. For example, a rectangular prism has 6 bases and a triangular prism has 5 bases. A triangular prism only has two bases.

A triangular prism has 2 bases on it!

a pentagonal prism has 2 bases
A triangular prism has triangular bases, a heagonal prism has ... you guessed it! ... hexagonal bases.
A prism will always have at least TWO bases
A triangular prism
A prism. A triangular prism has two congruent triangles as bases, rectangular prism, pentagonal prism, etc.
A heptagonal prism has two 7-sided bases.
If the lateral edge of a prism is perpendicular to both the bases, the prism is called a right prism. In a right prism, the sides connecting the bases are perpendicular to the base faces, resulting in a uniform cross-section along its height. This characteristic distinguishes it from an oblique prism, where the sides are not perpendicular to the bases.
