The rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section; the triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. Any other difference would be related to this fact - for example, differences in the formulae for the surface area, for the volume, etc.
One difference is square pyramids have 4 triangular faces while rectangular prisms have none!
They are both prisms.
There are Rectangular, Triangular, Pentagonal, and Square Prisms.
Pyramids only have square bases.Triangular prisms have triangle bases.Pyramids have triangle "faces".Triangular prisms have rectangular "faces".
Triangular prisms have triangles and rectangles. A rectangular prism has squares and rectangles.
Prisms are objects that divide the colours of the rainbow. Some prisms are Triangular, Rectangular and etc.
This is because there is no limit on rectangualar prisms and most boxes can hold cube or rectangular prisms not triangular pyrimids or prisms or hexagonal prisms.
A rectangular prism is like a chalkboard eraser. A triangular prism is a pyramid. A pentagonal prism is a three dimensional home plate. None of them are the same.
Those figures are called triangular prisms.
they are both solid shapes they both have a rectangle they are both prisms they are both bounded by plane polygonal faces hope this helps :)
Triangular prisms and Rectangular pyramids
They exist in the realm of typographic errors. Triangular prisms and rectangular prisms are solid geometric figures.
