A triangular prism can have right angles. If the prism has two triangular ends, then each of the three 'sides' meets each of the ends at right angles.

Is a cylinder stronger than a triangular prism?
simply judging from the great pyramids at Egypt versus any other man-made structure in history, i'd say that the triangular prism is the sturdiest
What form the bases of a prism?
The faces are always rectangles on prisms, so if it's a triangular prism the bases are triangles; if it's a rectangular prism, the bases are rectangles; if it's a hexagonal prism, the bases are hexagons. Any polygon can form the base of a prism. Some people also consider cylinders to be circular prisms. In which case any closed plane shape can form the base of a prism.
What is the shape of the prism base?
It depends what kind of prism: Rectangular prism-rectangle Could be circle too. It depends on what kind of prism it is. If it is a rectangular prism, it's base is a rectangle. If it's a triangular prism, it's base will be a triangle. P.S.-If you have any other questions about prisms or geometry in general, feel free to ask me!
How many right angles are there in a rhombus?
A rhombus normally has no right angles (at the vertices). If a rhombus has right angles (at the vertices), it is called a square. The diagonals of a rhombus meet at right angles.
What has five right angles?
Any polygon with at least 7 sides CAN have 5 right angles.
What are the angles in a triangular prism?
The lateral sides are usually rectangles so each would comprise four right angles. However, the bases can be any pair of congruent triangles.
What shape does a triangular prism have than a rectangular prism does not have?
A triangular prism has two triangular faces, a rectangular prism does not have any.
How many right angles does a triangle based pyramid have?
If a triangular based pyramid has any right angles it has three. (Think of the corner of a cube). There are many triangular based pyramids that do not have any right angles.
How is a doorstop a wedge?
It is a triangular prism and any triangular prism is a wedge.
How many pairs of perpendicular lines does a triangluar prism have?
It need not have any. A right triangular prism has 12 pairs but could have 14.
What is the altitude of a right triangular prism?
There are three altitudes to any triangle and you need to specify which one.
How many right angles are in a pentagon?
A two dimensional regular pentagon does not contain any right angles. A pentagonal prism, however, contains up to 10 right angles.
How to get a volume of a triangular prism?
Multiply the length of the prism by the area of the triangular face. How you find the area of the triangular face will depend on what information you have about the triangle: 3 sides, 2 sides and the included angle, 1 side and 2 angles, base and vertical height or any of a number of other sets of data.
Is there any objects that are triangular prism?
a tent
Is a triangular prism has the same surface area as a pyramid with a triangular base true or false?
False, the prism can be of any length.
What is the angle of prism?
The bases of a prism are general polygons and can have any angles in the range (0, 360) degrees excluding 180 deg, subject only to constraints imposed by the polygon. The lateral faces are all rectangles (in a right prism) and they meet the bases at right angles.
Does a triangular prism have any perpendicular edges?
yes it does
