You don't get any sides on 3D shapes. However, here are the features of both shapes:
Square based pyramid: 5 faces, 5 vertices, 8 edges
Triangular prism: 5 faces, 6 vertices, 9 edges.
Then again, it depends on what type of base the pyramid in question has.

A triangular prism.
A prism has a variety of bases but the sides are always parallelograms. A triangular prism has a triangle as the two bases and parallelograms as lateral sides. A pyramid has a variety of bases but the sides are triangles.
A triangular pyramid is a four sided 3D shape. All four sides are triangles. It resembles a 'traditional' pyramid, like the ones in Egypt. A triangular prism is a five sided 3D shape. It consists of two identical triangular sides connected by three identical rectangular sides. think of it as a cylinder with triangles on the ends and three sides instead of a smooth surface.
depends what kind of pyramid, if its a four sided pyramid then its the same but if its a three sided pyramid then the triangular prism has more
The difference beween a Triangular Prism, and a Triangular Pyramid (Tetrahedron) Prism Pyramid Five sides Four sides ---------> 1 less than the Prism Six corners Four corners -------> 2 less than the Prism Nine edges Six edges ----------> 3 less than the Prism So there you go. Thanks for reading
