they are the same because, they both have rectangular bases. Rectangular prisms are rectangular from the top and bottom (they are flat) while a rectangular pyramid has a point on the top where all of the edges meet. A pyramid has a tip at the top which unables it to stand on the tip while prisms can anyways.

Can you draw a three dimensional figures whose lateral faces are rectangles that are prisms and pyramids?

Yes, three-dimensional figures can have lateral faces that are rectangles, specifically in the case of rectangular prisms and pyramids. A rectangular prism consists entirely of rectangular faces, including its lateral faces. In contrast, a rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base and triangular lateral faces, although it can be visualized with rectangular lateral sections if divided appropriately. Thus, while prisms have all rectangular lateral faces, pyramids typically feature triangular lateral faces.
