In geometry, a triangular prism or trigonal prism [1] is a prism with 2 triangular bases. If the edges pair with each triangle's vertex and if they are perpendicular to the base, it is a right triangular prism. A right triangular prism may be both semiregular and uniform. The triangular prism can be used in constructing another polyhedron.
a few representatives of the infinite sets of prisms and antiprisms; one degenerate polyhedron, Skilling's figure with overlapping edges. It was proven in Sopov (1970) that there are only 75 uniform polyhedra other than the infinite families of prisms and antiprisms .
b = the base side of the prism's triangular base, h = the height of the prism's triangular base L = the length of the prism see above for general triangular base Isosceles triangular prism: b = the base side of the prism's triangular base, h = the height of the prism's triangular base
A twisted prism is a nonconvex polyhedron constructed from a uniform n-prism with each side face bisected on the square diagonal, by twisting the top, usually by π / n radians ( 180 / n degrees) in the same direction, causing sides to be concave.

The basic 3-dimensional element are the tetrahedron, quadrilateral pyramid, triangular prism, and hexahedron. They all have triangular and quadrilateral faces. Extruded 2-dimensional models may be represented entirely by the prisms and hexahedra as extruded triangles and quadrilaterals.
The triangular prisms are connected to the tetrahedra via their triangular faces. The runcinated tesseract can be dissected into 2 cubic cupolae and a rhombicuboctahedral prism between them. This dissection can be seen analogous to the 3D rhombicuboctahedron being dissected into two square cupola and a central octagonal prism .
The 12 wedge-shaped volumes connecting the non-axial square faces of the central small rhombicuboctahedron to the neighbouring octagons are the images of 24 of the triangular prisms. The remaining 8 triangular prisms project onto the triangular faces of the envelope. Between the triangular faces of the envelope and the triangular faces of the ...
