They are two identical and parallel triangles.
The three faces of the prism may be, but are not necessarily, rectangles. It depends on how the ends of the prism are cut/shaped.
They both have sides that are rectangular in shape. They both have a constant cross-sectional shape equal to the shape of the ends (triangle for a triangular prism; rectangle for a rectangular prism).
a triangular prism has to triangular bases while a rectangular prism has a rectangle as the bases.
A triangular prism
A triangular prism has two triangular faces, a rectangular prism does not have any.
A triangular prism can have right angles. If the prism has two triangular ends, then each of the three 'sides' meets each of the ends at right angles.
A triangular prism has five surfaces: two triangular faces, and three rectangular faces.
There are a total of three parallelograms in a triangular prism. Each of the sides are parallelograms, while the ends are triangles.
A triangular prism is so called because the shape of the ends is a triangle. A triangular pyramid is so called because the shape of the base is a triangle.

The answer depends on what measurements you do have.
triangular prism
They both have sides that are rectangular in shape. They both have a constant cross-sectional shape equal to the shape of the ends (triangle for a triangular prism; rectangle for a rectangular prism).
A triangular prism has 2 parallel faces, which are the triangular bases of the prism. Additionally, the lateral faces of a triangular prism are parallelograms, but they are not parallel to each other. Therefore, the total number of parallel faces in a triangular prism is 2.
a triangular prism has to triangular bases while a rectangular prism has a rectangle as the bases.
a triangular prism is different from a rectangular prism because: their names are different a triangular prism has a triangle for its' base a rectangular prism has a rectangle base a triangular prism has less sides than a rectangular prism a rectangular prism has more sides than a triangular prism
