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. Examples are some of the Johnson solids, the truncated right triangular prism, and Schönhardt ...
The 12 wedge-shaped volumes connecting the edges of the central cube to the non-axial square faces of the envelope are the images of 24 of the triangular prisms (a pair of cells per image). The 8 triangular faces of the envelope are the images of the remaining 8 triangular prisms.
Right Prism. A right prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base faces. [5] This applies if and only if all the joining faces are rectangular. The dual of a right n-prism is a right n-bipyramid. A right prism (with rectangular sides) with regular n-gon bases has Schläfli symbol { }×{n}.
Porro prisms are most often used in pairs, forming a double Porro prism. A second prism rotated 90° with respect to the first, is placed such that light will traverse both prisms. The net effect of the prism system is a beam parallel to but displaced from its original direction, with the image rotated 180°.

Its dihedral angle can be calculated by adding the angle of the triangular cupola and hexagonal prism. The dihedral angle of a hexagonal prism between two adjacent squares is the internal angle of a regular hexagon 120 ∘ = 2 π / 3 {\displaystyle 120^{\circ }=2\pi /3} , and that between its base and square face is π / 2 = 90 ∘ ...
The dual polyhedron of the triaugmented triangular prism has a face for each vertex of the triaugmented triangular prism, and a vertex for each face. It is an enneahedron (that is, a nine-sided polyhedron) [ 16 ] that can be realized with three non-adjacent square faces, and six more faces that are congruent irregular pentagons . [ 17 ]
The elongated triangular bipyramid is constructed from a triangular prism by attaching two tetrahedrons onto its bases, a process known as the elongation. [1] These tetrahedrons cover the triangular faces so that the resulting polyhedron has nine faces (six of them are equilateral triangles and three of them are squares), fifteen edges, and eight vertices.
