YES.........i think...maybe?
One difference is square pyramids have 4 triangular faces while rectangular prisms have none!
All the large pyramids in Egypt, Mexico, etc are all rectangular pyramids. All have a square or rectangular base and four triangular sides meeting at a point. ■
Pyramids only have square bases.Triangular prisms have triangle bases.Pyramids have triangle "faces".Triangular prisms have rectangular "faces".

Neither a triangular nor a rectangular pyramid has a square base. A square pyramid has a square base.
Triangular prism - 6 Rectangular prism - 8 Rectangular pyramid - 5 Square pyramid - 5 Answer: Rectangular prism
Yes. They are rectangular pyramids. They are square, but a square is a rectangle, by definition.
It means that it has a rectangular base rather than a square 1 :)
Square pyramids have a square base and four triangular faces, while triangular pyramids have a triangular base and three triangular faces. The number of sides and the shape of the base are the main distinguishing factors between the two types of pyramids. Additionally, the angles and dimensions of the faces will vary based on the shape of the base in each type of pyramid.
The base is different. A rect. pyramid has a rectangle as a base. Because the sides are different length for a rectangle, the triangles will not all be congruent (equal). A square pyramid has a square as the base. All sides of the square are the same length, so all the triangular sides of the pyramid will be congruent.
