A prism has two sides that are genral polygons with n sides, and n quadrilaterals which join the two n-gons. The prism is identified by the n-gons, as an n-gonal prism.
If these n-gons are in a plane at right angles to the quadrilaterals, then the quadrilaterals are all rectangles and the prism is called a right prism.

How do you find the volume for a triangular prism?
The volume of any prism is worked out in the same way whether it's a hexagonal prism, circular prism or a triangular prism. You just need to times the length of the prism against the area of the cross-section.
What is the volume in formula of prism?
The volume of a prism is the area of the base (or the cross section of the prism that is perpendicular to the height) times the height.V = Ab * h
A prism has a base with n sides How many faces does the prism have?
n+2. The sides will compose all the planes perpendicular to the two bases of the prism.
