In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron with two parallel and congruent faces, called bases. The other faces are parallelograms. The height of a prism is the perpendicular distance between the two bases.
Finding the height of a prism is important for calculating its volume and surface area. The volume of a prism is given by the formula V = Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height. The surface area of a prism is given by the formula A = 2B + Ph, where P is the perimeter of the base.
