Is a three dimensional figure bounded by a series of rectangles and two polygons lying in parallel planes?

It need not be. A sphere, for example, has no rectangles nor polygons and no parallel planes either.

What is a polyhedron with parallel edge intersect by two parallel line?
It is unlikely that the question is about a polyhedron which is a 3-dimensional solid bounded by polygons. The minimum number of edges for a polyhedron is 6: the question appears to suggest just 4.
What are the definitions of the prism and pyramid?
A prism isa polyhedron- that is, 3-dimensional shape bounded by polygons. It has two parallel bases that are identical polygons. The corresponding sides of these polygons are joined together by quadrilaterals.A pyramid is also a polyhedron. It has a polygonal base of n sides and n triangles, attached to each of the sides of the polygon, that meet at an apex above [or below] the plane of the polygon.AA prism isa polyhedron- that is, 3-dimensional shape bounded by polygons.

Why are cylinders and cones not considered to be a polyh?
Polyhedra are 3-dimensional shapes bounded by polygons. Polygons are flat [plane] shapes bounded by straight lines. So a polyhedron cannot have any curved faces.
How are a paralleogram pentagon and a square alike?
They are all polygons: two-dimensional shapes, bounded by straight lines.
What does polyheadron mean?
I think you mean polyhedron...if that's what you mean then...its a three dimensional object bounded by polygons, with each edge shared by exactly two polygons
How are hexagons and hexahedrons different?
A hexagon is a plane (2-dimensional) figure whereas a hexahedron is a solid (3-dimensional) shape. A hexagon is bounded by six straight lines whereas a hexahedron is bounded by six polygons.
What shapes are polyhedrons?
A polyhedron is a three dimensional shape. A polyhedron is bounded by a number (four or more) of polygons and encloses one space.
What all polygons look like and the name?
Polygons are closed two dimensional shapes which are bounded by three or more straight lines. There are infinitely many of them so it is not possible to name them all.
What shapes are quadrangle?
squares, rectangles, trapezoids, rhombuses
What are the shapes of a parrallelogram?
A parallelogram is a closed 2-dimensional shape bounded by two pairs of parallel sides.
Are pyramids polygons cylinders or prisms polyhendrons?
A polygon is a plane (2-dimensional) object bounded by straight lines. A polyhedron (not polyhendron!) is a solid (3-dimensional) object bounded by polygonal faces. So, pyramids and some prisms are polyhedra. A cylinder is a type of prism but, because two of its faces are circular, those faces are not polygons. As a result a cylinder is not a polyhedron.
Can a polygon be a solid?
No. A polygon is a plane area bounded by straight lines. The key term in this context is "plane". It is, therefore, 2 -dimensional shape. A solid, which is bounded by faces that are polygons, is called a polyhedron (plural = polyhedra).
