Prism, which a polyhedron with two congruent and parallel faces (the bases) and whose lateral faces are parallelograms.
A prism has 2 congruent parallel faces called bases. The other faces, most often rectangles, are called lateral faces. The prism is named by the shape of its base.
A pentagonal prism has 7 sides : 5 side faces and 2 bases.However, if all sides of the prism are considered faces, a shape with5 total faces including the 2 bases is a triangular prism.
A cube (6 square faces total).
A prism is a polyhedron - a 3-dimensional shape with polygonal faces. It has two identical and parallel polygonal faces that are "joined together" by rectangular faces. A prism whose bases are n-sided polygons has 2n vertices, n+2 faces and 3n edges.
