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.

A square antiprismatic prism or square antiduoprism is a convex uniform 4-polytope. It is formed as two parallel square antiprisms connected by cubes and triangular prisms. The symmetry of a square antiprismatic prism is [8,2 +,2], order 32. It has 16 triangle, 16 square and 4 square faces. It has 40 edges, and 16 vertices.
A twisted prism is a nonconvex polyhedron constructed from a uniform n-prism with each side face bisected on the square diagonal, by twisting the top, usually by π / n radians ( 180 / n degrees) in the same direction, causing sides to be concave. [8] [9] A twisted prism cannot be dissected into tetrahedra without adding new ...
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 ]

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.
These are the images of 24 of the triangular prism cells. The remaining 8 triangular prisms project onto the triangular faces of the envelope. The 8 remaining volumes lying between the triangular faces of the envelope and the inner truncated cube are the images of the 16 cuboctahedral cells, a pair of cells to each image.
