A triangular prism
Chat with our AI personalities
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 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.
A cube (6 square faces total).

A hexagonal prism
It is a cylinder
Oh, dude, you're almost there! A prism actually has 2 bases and 3 faces. The bases are the flat surfaces at the top and bottom, and the faces are the sides that connect those bases. So, like, close but not quite!
One shape could be a truncated 5-sided "pyramid." The base and top would be parallel pentagons. Because the sides will consist of an odd number of faces (5), none will be parallel to each other.
A cylinder has 2 circular equal opposite parallel bases
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.
A cube (6 square faces total).
A prism is a polyhedron (a many sided 3D shape) with two identical and parallel faces called the bases. The vertices of the two bases are joined by straight lines forming a number of rectangular faces. For example, a pentagonal prism consists of 2 pentagonal faces and 5 rectangular faces, and has 15 edges and 10 vertices.
