The discussion centers on the geometric interpretation of a triangular prism described as having infinite right angles. Participants clarify that the term refers to an "infinite (right angles) triangular prism," indicating that one side of the prism extends infinitely. The confusion arises from misinterpreting the phrase, leading to a misunderstanding about the nature of the prism. The clarification resolves the doubt regarding the geometric concept. Understanding this terminology is crucial for accurately visualizing the problem.

It doesn't say "with infinite right angles". It says "an infinite (right angles) triangular prism". It is one side of it that has infinite length.
