What is a prism?

A prism is a three-dimensional geometric shape that consists of two parallel and congruent polygonal bases, joined by rectangles (or parallelograms) that connect corresponding sides of the two bases.

Prisms have a uniform cross-section along the entire length, and the volume of a prism can be calculated by multiplying the area of the base by the height.
