Well, honey, a cube is a special kind of rectangular prism where all sides are the same length, so they both have six faces, eight vertices, and twelve edges. It's like saying a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle isn't always a square. So, technically, a cube is just a snazzy rectangular prism showing off its symmetry.

A cube and a rectangular prism are similar in that they are both three-dimensional shapes with six faces, eight vertices, and twelve edges. However, the main difference between them is that a cube has all its faces as squares, while a rectangular prism has rectangular faces. Additionally, a cube is a special type of rectangular prism where all sides are equal in length.

A cube and a rectangular prism have quadrilateral as their faces. Moreover, both have 6 faces, 8 corners, and 12 edges. The only difference is a cube has 6 squares as its faces while a rectangular prism has 6 rectangles as its faces.
