A prism is a polyhedron comprising two parallel polygons (bases) joined together by a set of quadrilaterals. In an antiprism, the two bases are twisted in respect of one another, and they are joined together by a series of triangles pointing in alternating direction.

What is a polygon that connects the bases of a polyhedron?
There is no special name. In a prism it would be a quadrilateral, in an antiprism, a triangle.
What are some difference between cone and a prism?
the difference between a cone and a prism is that a cone has no edges and only one vertex and a prism has both edges and vertexes.
What is the difference between a cube and a prism?
A cube is a special kind of prism.
What geometric solid has bases that are parallel and congruent?
It could be a prism, but need not be. A regular dodecahedron, for example, is not a prism but has parallel and congruent pentagonal bases. You can also have any antiprism (see link).
Is there a difference between a right rectangular prism and a rectanglar prism?
yes, they are different.

What are some difference between cone and a prism?
the difference between a cone and a prism is that a cone has no edges and only one vertex and a prism has both edges and vertexes.
Difference between prism and right prism?
The length of the prism is at right angles to the bases.
What is the difference between a regular prism and an oblique prism?
an oblique prism is slanted and a regular prism is not, its right.
What is a prism with triangular faces called?
If it has only two triangles then it is a triangle based prism. If it is has two n-sided polygonal faces and n triangles then it is a n-polygonal antiprism.
The difference between a prism and a pyramid?
A prism is 3d and a pyramid is in 2d

What is a polyhedron that is a prism with two bases that are hexagons and the other faces are rectangles?
It's called, not altogether surprisingly, a hexagonal prism. If the bases were hexagons and the other faces were triangles, it would be a hexagonal antiprism.
