A trapezoidal prism is a 3D shape with two trapezoids as its base that is being joined by four rectangles. A trapezoidal prism was given its name since it is made up of trapezoids. A trapezoidal prism has six faces, eight vertices, and 12 edges.

Which shape is a prism?

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.

What is a trapezium shape?

A trapezoid (also known as a trapezium) is a flat 2D shape, with four straight sides. It has one pair of parallel sides which are usually the top and bottom sides. The parallel sides are called the bases, while the non-parallel sides are called the legs. ... Different cultures define the shape differently.
