  2. PYRAMIDS PRISMS • The base is a polygon (straight-sided flat shape such as triangle, rectangle, pentagon, hexagon) • The sides are triangles which meet at the top (the apex) • A solid object that has two identical ends and all flat sides • The two identical sides could be: triangles, rectangles, etc. • The shape of the ends gives the prism its name • For example, a “triangular prism” has triangular ends
