The triangular prism is the prism whose base is a triangle. If the sides are squares, it is a uniform polyhedron.

Coordinates

The coordinates of a triangular prism of side 2 are:

(±1, -√3/3, ±1)
(0, 2√3/3, ±1)

Equations

  • Variables:
l ⇒ length of edges of triangular prism
total edge length = 9l
surface area = (3 + √32) · l2
volume = √34 · l3
[!x,!y] ⇒ square [!z] ⇒ triangle

Incidence matrix
