- Right square prism (a three-dimensional figure) has square bases, four faces that are rectangles with equal sides and equal angles.
- Diagonal is a line from one vertices to another that is non adjacent.
- 1 base / 12 edges / 5 faces / 8 vertexs / 2 base diagonals / 10 face diagonals / 4 space diagonals
