Which of the following statements regarding a right prism is accurate?

PRISM

A polyhedron with two parallel, equal polygons as bases and other faces as parallelograms
Bases are equal polygons
Lateral edges are parallel and equal
Altitude is the perpendicular distance between the bases
Right prism: lateral edges perpendicular to the bases, creating rectangular lateral faces

CYLINDER

A solid bounded by a closed cylindrical surface and two parallel planes (bases)
Lateral surface is the cylindrical surface
Bases are equal
Altitude is the perpendicular distance between the bases
Every section parallel to the base has an area equal to the base area

CONE

Altitude is the perpendicular distance from the vertex to the base plane
Axis joins vertex to the center of the base
A right section is a cross-section perpendicular to the axis, cutting all elements

SPHERE

A solid such that all points on the surface are equidistant from a fixed point (center)
Every plane section is a circle
A great circle has a diameter equal to the sphere's diameter
All great circles are equal
Great circles bisect the sphere

PYRAMID

A polyhedron with a polygonal base and triangular lateral faces with a common vertex (apex)
Triangular faces are called lateral faces
Altitude is the perpendicular distance from the apex to the base
Regular right pyramid has a regular polygon base and equal lateral edges; congruent isosceles triangular lateral faces; equal altitudes of the lateral faces; slant height is the altitude of a lateral face
