No they have to have a polygon as a base.
They would have to have the same base area, if that's what you mean.
To start off a pyramid has 1 base and the prism has 2 bases. The prism has more vertices than a pyramid.
not all prisms
240 units squared
Cones and pyramids have only one base, but prisms have multiple bases.
no

the difference between a pyramid and prism (in geometry) is that a pyramid has one base and lateral faces that are triangles where prisms have two congruent bases and lateral faces that are parallelograms

Pyramids and cones have a pointed top (apex) while prisms and cylinders have flat tops. Pyramids and cones have a single base, while prisms have two parallel bases. Cones have a curved surface while pyramids have triangular faces.

Cubes are prisms that have squares as bases and the height is the same as the edges. A square prism has square bases, top and bottom, and parallelograms as sides. A square pyramid has a square base and triangles for the vertical sides.
