The base has #5# sides. It is a pentagon.

Explanation:

A prism is named according to the shape of its base.

If it is a pentagonal prism, this indicates that the base is a pentagon - ie a 5-sided polygon.

"Right" prism means that the rectangles joining the top and bottom pentagons are at #90°# to them.
