Browser not adding the third argument in my function

Here's my full code but the specific issue involves the areaPrism function.

function areaRectangle(width, height) {
  if (isNaN(width) || isNaN(height)) {
    throw new Error('Both agruments need to be a number!')
  }
  return width * height;
}

function areaPrism(width, height, length) {
  if (isNaN(width) || isNaN(height) || isNaN(length)) {
    throw new Error('All agruments need to be a number!')
  }
  return width * height * length;
}
console.log(areaRectangle(2,5));
console.log(areaRectangle(4, 5, 6));

When I go into the browser and the code runs, I check the console and it outputs 20. I'll change the numbers and the same thing happens, it for some reason won't add my third number. What am I doing wrong?

In your console.log statements you aren't calling areaPrism(). You are calling areaRectangle() twice.
