TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1. Write the concept.

A prism is a polyhedron that has two equal, parallel sides called “bases” and its lateral sides are “parallelograms”.

Step 2. Write explanation.

Since, a triangular prism is a polyhedron that has two parallel and congruent triangles called bases.

The lateral faces are parallelogram, rectangles or squares. There are 3 lateral faces for a triangular prism.

Therefore, a prism can have lateral faces that are triangle and that prism called right triangular prism.
