How is the number of faces of a prism related to the number of sides of its base?

Oh, what a happy little question! The number of faces on a prism is always two more than the number of sides on its base. You see, the base of the prism creates one face on the bottom and another face on the top, and each side of the base connects to one face on the side of the prism. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, it's all about seeing how each part comes together to create a lovely whole.
