Triangular prisms
A triangular prism has a triangle for the base. Every cross-section parallel to the base is also a triangle.
A net of a triangular prism is shown here.
A triangular prism has 5 faces, 6 vertices and 9 edges. To build a rectangular prism with construction materials, we would need 3 rectangles and 2 triangles that join at the edges to make a closed three-dimensional shape or 9 edge pieces and 6 corner pieces to make a frame of the prism.
A triangular prism can also be called a pentahedron because it has five faces. Penta means five.

What are 3 of prisms?
In geometry, a triangular prism is a three-sided prism; it is a polyhedron made of a triangular base, a translated copy, and 3 faces joining corresponding sides. A right triangular prism has rectangular sides, otherwise it is oblique.
How many faces a prism has?
A rectangular prism has 6 faces, 8 vertices (or corners) and 12 edges. To build a rectangular prism with construction materials, we would need 6 rectangles that join at the edges to make a closed three-dimensional shape or 12 edge pieces and 8 corner pieces to make a frame of a rectangular prism.
Which prism has 13 faces?
Polyhedra by vertex count.
