Right prisme with rectangular bases.
- A right rectangular prism is also called a right parallelepiped.
- A right rectangular prism has three pairs of bases, any of which can be used to calculate the volume.
Formulas
The following formulas can be used to calculate the volume V and the area A of a right rectangular prism:
- \(V=A_{b}\times h\)
- \(A=2A_{b}+P_{b}\times h\) , where Ab represents the area of the base and Pb represents the perimeter of the base.
Example
This is a right rectangular prism:
