A twelve-sided prism is called a dodecagonal prism. The prefix "dodeca-" denotes twelve sides, while "gon" refers to a polygon. In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron with two parallel and congruent faces called bases, and its other faces are parallelograms. A dodecagonal prism would have twelve sides, twelve vertices, and twenty-four edges.

What is the name for a prism with six sides?
a hexagonal prism
How many sides to a rectangular prism?
There are 12 sides on a rectangular prism.
How is the number of vertices for a prism related to the name of the prism?
Divide the number of vertices by 3. Find the name of the polygon with that many sides. The prism has that polygon as a base. For example, a prism with 24 vertices. Divide by 3 so that is 8. An 8 sided polygon is an octagon. The name is an octagon-based prism.
How many number of edges in rectangular prism?
There are twelve edges in a rectangular prism.
How many sides does a right trapezoidal prism have?
A right trapezoidal prism has 12 sides. Any prism has three times the number of sides of its cross-sectional shape. A trapezoid has four sides, so a [right] trapezoidal prism has 3 x 4 = 12 sides.
