In its most generalised form it comprises two connected, congruent and parallel faces: these faces are called the bases. In a right prism, the bases are at right angles to the length of the prism. In a polyhedral prism, all faces are polygons and, in such a case, the faces joining the bases are quadrilaterals. In the very special case of a right polyhedral prism, the bases are polygons and the lateral faces are rectangles.
