f you looked at the bottom of a pyramid and saw a right triangle it would be a right triangular prism. It would have 3 triangular faces extending up from the bottom.
The last sentence refers to a right tetrahedron, not a prism. A triangular prism has two triangles at either end, and three rectangles joining them - like a pencil with a triangular cross-section.

What common objects are prism shape?
Well, darling, common objects that come in a prism shape include pyramids, certain crystal decorations, and even some fancy perfume bottles. Just remember, a prism is a three-dimensional figure with a polygon as its base and triangular faces that meet at a common point. So, keep your eyes peeled for those sharp corners and dazzling reflections!
Is a square based pyramid a prism?
No, a square-based pyramid is not a prism. A prism is a polyhedron with two parallel and congruent faces called bases, and all other faces are parallelograms. In contrast, a square-based pyramid has a square base and triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex. Therefore, a square-based pyramid does not meet the definition of a prism.
