A general prism has two congruent polygonal bases (faces), while the other faces are parallelogrammatic; a right prism is so-called when the general prism's remaining faces are rectangular.
An example of a right prism with two congruent rectangular bases is a cube if all other faces are equal to the bases; a cuboid prism is where the other faces are equal to each other but not necessarily to the bases.

Is there a square prism?
technically a square prism would be a cube, so i guess not. Ignore that answer. There IS a square prism. A cube has all of its faces congruent and squares. A square prism can have 2 square bases and 4 rectangular lateral faces making it a square prism. Think of it as a rectangular prism right? Well replace the rectangle bases with squares and you have a square prism!
Difference between prism and right prism?
The length of the prism is at right angles to the bases.
A cylinder in geometry is what?
A 3D figure with two circle bases, and a rectangle.
How looks a rectangular prism?
the bases (b) is a rectangle look up a picture
What polyhedron has two bases that are hexagons the other faces rectangle?
a hexagonal prism
Why does a prism or a cylinder have a set of parallel cross sections that are parallelograms?
The bases of a prism or cylinder are congruent and parallel and they meet the lateral face (cynder) or faces (prism) at right angles. A cross section parallel to the longitudinal axis will, therefore, be a rectangle.
How is a rectangle the same as a rectangular prism?
The rectangular prism is the 3D analogue of a rectangle. The main similarity is that all sides meet at right angles.
