Define prism and pyramid
Prism
In Geometry, a prism is a solid having bases or ends that are parallel, congruent polygons and sides that are parallelograms.
A prism is a 3-dimensional shape with two identical shapes facing each other. These identical shapes are called bases. The bases can be a triangle, square, rectangle, or any other polygon. Other faces of a prism are parallelograms or rectangles.
Pyramid
A pyramid is a 3 D shape that has a base, which can be any polygon, and three or more triangular faces that meet at a point called the apex. These triangular sides are sometimes called the lateral faces to distinguish them from the base.
Prisms and pyramids are solid geometric shapes that have flat sides, flat bases, and angles. However, the bases and side faces on prisms and pyramids differ. Prisms have two bases while pyramids only have one. There are a variety of pyramids and prisms, so not all shapes in each category look the same.
