A Polyhedron with two congruent Polygonal faces and all remaining faces Parallelograms. The 4-prism is simply the Cube. The simple prisms and antiprisms include: decagonal antiprism, decagonal prism, hexagonal antiprism, hexagonal prism, octagonal antiprism, octagonal prism, pentagonal antiprism, pentagonal prism, square antiprism, and triangular prism. The Dual Polyhedron of a simple (Archimedean) prism is a Bipyramid.
The triangular prism, square prism (cube), and hexagonal prism are all Space-Filling Polyhedra.
