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.
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 ]
A volume is a measurement of a region in three-dimensional space. [12] The volume of a polyhedron may be ascertained in different ways: either through its base and height (like for pyramids and prisms ), by slicing it off into pieces and summing their individual volumes, or by finding the root of a polynomial representing the polyhedron.
A prismatic polytope is a higher-dimensional generalization of a prism. An n-dimensional prismatic polytope is constructed from two (n − 1)-dimensional polytopes, translated into the next dimension. The prismatic n-polytope elements are doubled from the (n − 1)-polytope elements and then creating new elements from the next lower element.
The elements of a polytope can be considered according to either their own dimensionality or how many dimensions "down" they are from the body. Vertex, a 0-dimensional element; Edge, a 1-dimensional element; Face, a 2-dimensional element; Cell, a 3-dimensional element; Hypercell or Teron, a 4-dimensional element; Facet, an (n-1)-dimensional element

Basic three-dimensional cell shapes. 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.
A 4-dimensional uniform duoprism is created by the product of a regular n-sided polygon and a regular m-sided polygon with the same edge length. It is bounded by n m-gonal prisms and m n-gonal prisms. For example, the Cartesian product of a triangle and a hexagon is a duoprism bounded by 6 triangular prisms and 3 hexagonal prisms.
