An oblique prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are not perpendicular to the base faces. Example: a parallelepiped is an oblique prism whose base is a parallelogram, or equivalently a polyhedron with six parallelogram faces. Right Prism. A right prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base ...
A hexagonal antiprismatic prism or hexagonal antiduoprism is a convex uniform 4-polytope. It is formed as two parallel hexagonal antiprisms connected by cubes and triangular prisms. The symmetry of a hexagonal antiprismatic prism is [12,2 +,2], order 48. It has 24 triangle, 24 square and 4 hexagon faces. It has 60 edges, and 24 vertices.
The edges and vertices of the triaugmented triangular prism form a maximal planar graph with 9 vertices and 21 edges, called the Fritsch graph. It was used by Rudolf and Gerda Fritsch to show that Alfred Kempe's attempted proof of the four color theorem was incorrect.
The dual of a rectified prism is a joined prism or joined bipyramid, in Conway polyhedron notation. The join operation adds vertices at the center of faces, and replaces edges with rhombic faces between original and the neighboring face centers. The joined square prism is the same topology as the rhombic dodecahedron.

The square pyramid can be seen as a triangular prism where one of its side edges (joining two squares) is collapsed into a point, losing one edge and one vertex, and changing two squares into triangles. Geometric variations with irregular faces can also be constructed. Some irregular pentahedra with six vertices may be called wedges.
where V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges, and F is the number of faces. This equation is known as Euler's polyhedron formula. Thus the number of edges is 2 less than the sum of the numbers of vertices and faces. For example, a cube has 8 vertices and 6 faces, and hence 12 edges.
A quadrilaterally-based pyramid has 5 vertices, 8 edges, bounded by 4 triangular and 1 quadrilateral face. These are effectively used as transition elements between square and triangular faced elements and other in hybrid meshes and grids.
