A prism is any 3 dimensional geometric object with parallel bases which are congruent polygons. The lateral faces of a prism are parallelograms. We generally talk of an n-sided prism where n is a natural number telling us the number of sides the prism has. To be more precise an prism is a polyhedron with two congruent polygonal faces and all the remaining faces are parallelograms. A cube is a common example of a prism. It has six sides. A triangular prism has 5 sides. So the answer to the questions : how many sides does a prism have? is it all depends on the prism, it can have different number of sides. Now a pyramid is also a 3 dimensional shape but instead of two bases it has one base connected to a point called the apex. The base of a prism is a polygon and a prism is a polyhedron also. It can have different number of sides also so there is once again no fixed answer.

What is one defference between a prism and a pyramid?
Difference 1: A prism has two bases that are parallel to each other. A pyramid has only one base. Difference 2: The sides of a prism are rectangular (these are the sides that aren't the bases)_. The sides of a pyramid are triangular.

What is the difference between a square pyramid and a square prism?
A prism is defined as a solid (or three dimensional) geometrical shape in which the sides are parallel, whereas in a pyramid the sides are not parallel and they all come together in an apex.
