The height of both oblique and right prisms is ALWAYS
A) the perpendicular distance between the bases
B) the length of a lateral edge
C) longer than the altitude of the prism
D) drawn vertically

Option A is correct.

The height of both oblique and right prisms is ALWAYS the perpendicular distance between the bases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prisms are 3-D shapes that have two parallel faces (called bases) separated at some distance apart (the height of the prism) with the lateral face in between the two parallel bases.

For right prisms, the lateral face is a rectangle while it is a parallelogram for oblique prisms.

The height of a prism is the perpendicular distance between the two bases. In a right prism, the height is a lateral edge as this edge is equal to the perpendicular distance between the two bases.

In the case of the oblique prism, the height is the shortest line segment between the extended bases, the perpendicular distance between the two bases.

So, the height isn't always a length of a lateral edge, isn't always longer than the altitude of the prism and isn't always drawn vertically as the prism sometimes is pictured not resting on its bases, leading to the height drawn horizontally.

So, only option A is totally correct.

Hope this Helps!!!
