Oh, what a happy little question! The number of faces on a prism is always two more than the number of sides on its base. You see, the base of the prism creates one face on the bottom and another face on the top, and each side of the base connects to one face on the side of the prism. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, it's all about seeing how each part comes together to create a lovely whole.

What is the greatest number of faces on a prism?

The greatest number of sides can be any amount of sides.


How many faces does a prism have and what shapes are the faces?

A prism has two polygonal faces at each end and these may have any number of sides, n. The prism also has n rectangular faces.


How many sides does a prism and a pyramid have?

A prism has two identical polygonal bases connected by rectangular or parallelogram faces, so it has 2 sides. A pyramid has a polygonal base and triangular faces that meet at a common vertex, so it has a total of n+1 sides, where n is the number of sides of the base polygon.


How is the number of vertices related to the name of a prism?

A prism is often named according to its base: one of the pair of congruent and parallel polygonal faces. In that case, if the base is a polygon with n sides, then the prism has 2*n vertices.

How many sides and faces does a trianglar prism have?

How many faces does quadillateral prism have?

The number of faces in a prism is one face for each of the sides of its cross-section plus the two end faces. A quadrilateral prism has a quadrilateral as its cross-section. Therefore it has 4 + 2 = 6 faces.


How many faces a prism have?

My answer to that question is eight sides. * * * * * Actually, there is no single answer because a prism is a generic term which is used to describe a polyhedron with two congruent and parallel bases and a number of rectangular faces joining them. If the base is a polygon with n sides (n ≥ 3), then the corresponding prism has n+2 faces. So a prism can have 5 or more faces.


How many sides does a prism with 9 sides has each base of the prism with nine faces?

This question is not the clearest. However, an n-sided prism will typically have n+2 faces: the n sides, and the two ends. So a nine-sided prism will have 11 faces.


How is the total number of sides of the faces related to the number of edges?

Faces + Vertices = Edges + 2


How many sides are there in decagons prism?

A decagonal prism has 12 faces.


How many faces does a pentagon-based prism have?

All prisms have a face on each end. Additionally, they will have a number of faces corresponding to the number of sides on the polygon that is on an end. For a triangular prism, that's 2 + 3 = 5 faces. For a square prism, that's 2 + 4 = 6 faces. For your pentagon prism, that's 2 + 5 = 7 faces.
