Question

True or false the base of a triangular prism is always the triangular shape, no matter how the picture shows it.

Answer 1

False. While a triangular prism is defined as having two parallel triangular bases, the base can be oriented in various ways depending on how the prism is represented in a drawing or a picture. In some views, the triangular base may not be immediately apparent if the prism is viewed from a different angle. However, regardless of orientation, a triangular prism always has triangular bases.
