Want this question answered?
it has four rectangular sides and 2 square faces * * * * * It need not have ANY square faces. It can have six rectangular faces.
One square or rectangle as it's base, and the other sides are triangles.
A cuboid (rectangular prism) is the only shape with 6 rectangular faces (3 pairs of rectangles in fact). A cube is a special type of cuboid where all the rectangles are squares. Both cubes and cuboids are special types of hexahedron (polyhedrons with 6 faces). The only shape with 6 equal rectangular faces is the hexagonal prism. However, since it also has two hexagonal faces it is therefore an irregular octahedron rather than a hexahedron.
Faces?
a rectangular pyramid rectangular base and 4 triangular sides = 5 faces
it has six sides, 4 identical faces and two identical bases
a square. duuh. * * * * * duuh is correct! A square has 4 identical sides or 4 identical angles but not 4 identical faces! A shape with four identical plane faces is a regular tetrahedron or a triangle based pyramid.
A dodecahedron has 12 identical pentagonal faces.
Could it be a hexahedron. A cube has 6 sides and they are squares. A rectangular prism has 6 faces that are rectangles.
A rectangular prism is a solid figure with six rectangular faces.

Well a rectangle is a 2-D shape so it really only has 1 face and 4 sides
Rectangular prism
A 3-dimensional shape (polyhedron) can have an unlimited number of faces. However, regular shapes (all sides identical) rapidly approach a spherical form beyond about 12 to 20 sides.
