If we're talking in purely geometric terms: If the edges of a prism/cylinder make a right angle with the base, it is called a right prism/cylinder. If not, it is an oblique prism/cylinder...it will look as if it were slanting to one side instead of standing straight. Similarly, if the top vertex of a pyramid/cone is directly above the center of the base, it is a right pyramid/cone. Otherwise, it is an oblique pyramid/cone. Again, it will look a bit askew.
Well a cube is a very interesting polygon but it is right AND oblique
I believe that a sphere is neither oblique nor a right (angle?).
The volume, V, of a cylinder with base of radius r is the product of the area, B, of a base and the height, h, of the cylinder.V = Bh or V = (pi)(r^2)h(A cylinder is a right cylinder if the segment joining the centers of the bases is perpendicular to the planes of the bases. Otherwise the cylinder is oblique.)
An oblique triangle has no right angle.
