A right prism is a solid geometrical shape with two congruent, parallel bases and rectangular sides that are perpendicular to the bases.
A right prism is a three-dimensional shape that has two parallel and congruent bases, connected by rectangular faces. The bases are polygons, and the lateral faces are all rectangles. The shape of the bases determines the overall shape of the prism. The height of the prism is the perpendicular distance between the bases. Unlike oblique prisms, the lateral edges of a right prism are perpendicular to the bases.
