HELP ASAP PLEASE

Are the bases of the prism equilateral triangles? Why or why not? Note: The bases of a triangular prism are triangles.

For this prism to be a right prism, all the lateral faces must be rectangles. Is enough information given to prove the lateral faces are rectangles? Why or why not?

Answer:

Explanation:

The bases of a triangular prism are equilateral triangles, since they have equal sides: 5, 5, and 5

yes, since if all lateral faces are rectangles, rectangles are formed from 4 perpendicular segments, thus, if all edges of the lateral faces are perpendicular, then they are rectangles
