Right prism and oblique prism
A right prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base faces. This applies if the joining faces are rectangular.
If the joining edges and faces are not perpendicular to the base faces, it is called an oblique prism.
Conclusion:
Therefore, joining edges and faces are perpendicular in a right prism whereas it is not perpendicular in an oblique prism.
