True
False

Answer 1

False. While a triangular prism typically has triangular bases, the shape of the base can vary in different representations or contexts, and the term "base" in geometry can sometimes refer to any side or face in practical applications. In standard definitions, however, the bases of a triangular prism are specifically the two parallel triangular faces.
