Five faces (three squares* or rectangles, two triangles). Six vertices. and therefore (by Euler’s rule)** nine edges, if you’re fed up with counting them. Three each for the two triangles (total six) and three stretching between the triangles (grand total nine).

In a Pentahedron, two faces are parallel. Now, we will see how many faces does a triangular prism have. A prism is a type of a solid object, which has two identical ends and all the faces of a prism are flat. Prism is a type of a polyhedron. A triangular prism has five faces, six vertices and nine edges. A triangular prism is a three sided prism. It is made up of triangular base. and, â€˜lâ€™ is the length between the triangles. Volume of a prism is the product of area of the given base and the distance between two bases. Now, we will find the volume of a triangular prism. We can say that the number of cubical units which exactly fill in a triangular prism is the volume of a triangular prism. and, â€˜hâ€™ is the height of a triangular prism.

(Technically, when the sides are rectangles, the shape is known as a right prism, indicating that the lateral faces meet the sides of the base at right angles. In this lesson, when we use the term prism, we mean a right prism.

A prism is a polyhedron for which the top and bottom faces (known as the bases) are congruent polygons, and all other faces (known as the lateral faces) are rectangles.

There are eight vertices in a rectangular prism. Any prism is a three dimensional figure; it has two bases and is formed by rectangles connecting the edges of each base to each other. So in the case of a rectangular prism is a rectangle. Thus, the number of faces of any prism is the number of edges of the base + 2. Also, the number of vertices is just the number of vertices of the base shape, times two. A rectangular prism has eight vertices because the base (a rectangle) has four vertices. That times two is eight.

Use the animation below to explore the properties of four prisms. Follow the instructions below to change the direction and speed of the prism's rotation and to highlight the numbers of faces (F), vertices (V), and edges (E) for each prism.

*A strict geometrical prism, belonging to the class of Archimedean solids, has squares as the quadrilateral faces, but many prisms in real life - eg the glass ones kept in physics labs for refracting and dispersing light - have rectangular and triangular faces. ** Faces + vertices = edges + 2 in all convex polyhedra.

How many faces edges vertices and base does a triangular prism have? It has 5 faces, 6 edges, 4 vertices, and 2 base. Bases are counted as faces too, but are polygonal and are translations of each other in space. So, they are congruent and are …in parallel planes. * * * * * The above answer is utter nonsense. A triangular prism has 5 faces (two triangles and 3 rectangles), 9 edges and 6 vertices. Bases are counted as faces.
