because every square is a rectangle.
A rectangular cube (a cuboid) is a kind of prism and, by convention, prisms have two bases.
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.
trinangleular prism
The flat surfaces of all polyhedra are called faces and a rectangular prism is simply one kind of polyhedron.
A cube is a special kind of hexahedron.
A cube is a special kind of rectangular prism.
why is a cube a speacial kind of rectangular prism

it depends what kind of a prism you are talking about but it has two !!!
Rectangular.
A rectangular prism (which is a kind of hexahedron).
a rectangle, or a rectangular prism
trinangleular prism
A traingular prism has 5 faces. Normally, with prisms the non-rectangular sides are called the bases. In that situation there are two triangular bases and three [lateral] rectangular faces. This kind of distinction falls apart when considering rectangular prisms (cuboids). a cylinder has one base if the base of a cylinder is composed of line segments it is called a prism a prism has one base if the base of a cylinder is a rectangle its called a rectangular prism if the base of a cylinder is a square and the height is equal to the length of a side of the square it is called a cube
The flat surfaces of all polyhedra are called faces and a rectangular prism is simply one kind of polyhedron.
