A prism is a solid figure with flat faces. The top and bottom surfaces are identical polygons and the side faces are parallelograms.

A two-dimensional shape which is bounded by vertices and straight line segments

A measure of how much space a figure occupies and how much space it can hold

The bottom face or side of a solid figure. Some figures have a single base, like pyramids or cones, while other figures have two bases, like prisms or cylinders.
