A triangular prism has 5 faces.

  • 2 are triangular bases (one on each end).
  • 3 are rectangular (or parallelogram) side faces connecting the triangles.

So if you imagine a “tent-shaped” solid, you can count: triangle front, triangle back, plus three rectangles wrapped around the sides and bottom, giving 5 in total.
