It_is_a_triangular_prism.">It_is_a_triangular_prism.">It is a triangular prism.* * * * *While a triangular prism can have equilateral triangle faces, it has more faces that are quadrilateral (or rectangular).A polyhedron with only equilateral triangular faces could be a tetrahedron, an octahedron in the form of a square based dipyramid, or an icosahedron.
An icosahedron is in fact not a polygon at all, but a polyhedron. As a polyhedron it is regular however. The regular icosahedron is one of only five possible regular polyhedra. It has 20 faces, each of which is an equilateral triangle.
No. Only some parallelograms are rectangles. But all rectangles are parallelograms.
No. A triangle is a two-dimensional polygon (flat figure). It has sides that consist of three line segments, with an interior area. Only a three-dimensional form (polyhedron) can have faces. Triangles serve as faces for any number of polyhedrons, such as pyramids.
It may be called an apex, but that is really only appropriate for a simple convex polyhedron.
A triangle is the only polygon with 3 corners (vertices). There is no polyhedron with 3 corners.

No. Only some rectangles are - when they are squares.

All squares are rectangles also, but not all rectangles are squares, only equilateral rectangles are considered square.
The only rectilinear figure is a triangle, or one composed of several triangles joined together.
A polyhedron has only polygonal faces and any one of them can be considered a base. Therefore a polyhedron with 0 bases cannot exist.
It may be called an apex, but that is really only appropriate for a simple convex polyhedron.
A polyhedron has "many sides" (by definiton). The only 3-D shape which does not have "many sides" is a sphere (which technically only have one "side").
