A hexahedron is a 3D shape with 6 faces. It CAN be a prism whose base is a square. But that is only one example. It can also be a prism whose base is any quadrilateral. It can also be something like a pentagonal pyramid (i.e. the base is a pentagon and the sides are made up of 5 triangles.)

To calculate the volume of a square prism, you multiply the area of the base by the height (length). The area of the base, which is square, is 12.5 × 12.5 = 156.25 square units. Then, multiply the area by the height: 156.25 × 8 = 1,250 cubic units. Therefore, the volume of the square prism is 1,250 cubic units.
The base of a triangular prism is a triangle and the base of a square pyramid is a square.

The base of a pentagonal prism is a pentagon. Just like a square pyramid has a square for a base, a pentagonal prism has a pentagon for a base.

A triangular prism has a triangular base. A square-based prism has a square base. A prism with an n-sided base will have 2n vertices, n + 2 faces, and 3n edges.
A triangular prism can have a square or triangular base.
