What is the difference between a triangular prism and rectangular pyramid?
A triangular prism has a uniformed cross-section whereas a rectangular pyramid does not.
Which shape has four faces six edges and four vertices its cross section shows a triangular face?
a triangular pyramid
What solid has a triangular cross section when the cross section is taken perpendicular to the base?
A solid with a triangular cross section when the cross section is taken parallel to the base could be either a triangular prism, a triangular pyramid, or a triangular frustrum.. I've been sitting here trying to convince myself (without actually bearing down and trying to prove it mathematically) that any cross section of a regular tetrahedron (a special case of triangular pyramid) taken perpendicularly to the base is a triangle, and I THINK this is the case, but as I said I certainly haven't rigorously proven it; I'm just unable to come up with any obvious situation where this is not true.
What is the difference between the cross section of a pyramid and the cross section of a prism?
The cross section of a pyramid shrinks from the shape of the base down to a point as you move along its axis from the base to the apex. The cross section of a prism is constant along its axis.
Is a three-dimensional figure with no triangular faces have a cross section that is a triangle?
Yes. A cuboid, for example, has triangular cross sections
What is the difference between a triangular prism and rectangular pyramid?

Can a triangular prism have a rectangular base or does this mean it is in fact a pyramid?
A prism can have a triangular cross-section with a rectangular base
What three solid figures have a triangle as a cross section?
Pyramid, triangular prism, cone.
Which shape has four faces six edges and four vertices its cross section shows a triangular face?
