In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron comprising an n-sided polygon base, a second base which is a translated copy (rigidly moved without rotation) of the first, and n other faces, necessarily all parallelograms, joining corresponding sides of the two bases.
Shoelace scheme for determining the area of a polygon with point coordinates (,),..., (,). The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, [1] is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane.

Beyond the triangular bipyramid as its dual polyhedron, many other polyhedrons are related to the triangular prism. A Johnson solid is a convex polyhedron with regular faces, and this definition is sometimes omitted uniform polyhedrons such as Archimedean solids, Catalan solids, prisms and antiprisms. [12]
