Representing Prisms

Two important members of polyhedron family are prisms and pyramids.

Prisms:

A prism is a three dimensional object formed by giving height to any two dimensional closed polygon. The top and bottom will be congruent polygons. The closed polygon will act as the base.of the prism.

A prism is a said, solid whose side faces are parallelograms and whose ends (or bases are congruent parallel rectilinear figures. In the figure below there is a prism whose ends are hexagons which are congruent to each other but other faces are parallelograms.

Now let us discuss some features of a prism.
