definitionsPrism Bases: two congruent, parallel polygons Lateral faces: parallelograms formed by connecting corresponding vertices of the bases. Altitude: the perpendicular distance between its bases. A prism is named for its bases

Triangular PrismRectangular Prism

Pentagonal Prism

definition

Regular Prism The bases are regular polygons The parallelogram faces are congruent

definition

Right Prism The lateral faces are perpendicular to the bases

Oblique Prism The lateral faces are not perpendicular to the bases

definitionsCylinder Bases: two congruent-parallel circles Lateral face: a rectangle connecting the bases Altitude: the perpendicular distance between its

bases.

definitionsCylinder Right Cylinder: a segment joining the centers of the

bases is perpendicular to the bases.
