It depends on what kind of prism it is. If it is a rectangular prism, it's base is a rectangle. If it's a triangular prism, it's base will be a triangle. P.S.-If you have any other questions about prisms or geometry in general, feel free to ask me!

Brad cuts a triangular prism with a plane parallel to the base of the prism. What will the shape of the cross section be?
Triangular
What is another name for a triangular based prism?
You can call it a "triangular prism" rather than "triangular based prism" ... saying a prism is "triangular" imply that the base is a triangle. There's no other name that I know of. A prism is just a 3d shape, so all you have to say is <type of shape> + prism to get the point across.
Does a triangle prism have a base?
Every prism has a base. For a triangular prism the base is a triangle.
What is area of base?
It depends on the shape of the base. A pyramid or a prism can have any polygonal shape as base and the formula for its area will depend on the shape. With other solid figures, the base may simply be the face tat the object happens to be "sitting" on: roll it and another face becomes the base.
