A prism is a polyhedron with uniform cross-section and two congruent polygonal bases parallel to each other.

Usually, an unsharpened pencil has two hexagonal bases and six lateral faces.

A rectangular box has two rectangular ends and four lateral faces.

A table calendar has two triangular bases and three lateral faces.

Therefore, an unsharpened pencil, rectangular box, and a table calendar are examples of prism.
