A prism is a solid that has two parallel base faces that are congruent polygons. Each of the other sides of a'prism is a parallelogram. Examples of prisms include a parallelepipeds, or, more specifically, a cube. A prism may also be classified as a right prism if the faces connecting to the base faces are perpendicular to the base faces.

Finding Area and Volume of a Prism

The volume of a prism is the area of the base face multiplied by the height. (If the prism is not a right prism, then the height is merely the perpendicular height from the base face.) The surface area of a prism is calculated by the sum of perimeter of the base face multiplied by the height of the prism and twice the area of a base face.
