They both have sides that are rectangular in shape. They both have a constant cross-sectional shape equal to the shape of the ends (triangle for a triangular prism; rectangle for a rectangular prism).
Maybe all the ones you talk about in school have at least one pair of equal sides, but there are an infinite number of other quadrilaterals that have no equal sides. Take four sticks ... 1 foot, 2 feet, 3 feet, and 4 feet. There's no problem gluing their ends together to make an ugly, out-of-shape quadrilateral.
a rectangle.if u spilt a cylinder down the middle vertically you get a rectangleIf you split it in half parallel to the ends, it cuts the cylinder into two cylinders (the cut surface being a circle).Cut at any angle between parallel to the ends and going through the point where the side meets the end produces an ellipse.Cut at any angle between the point where the sides meet the ends and perpendicular to the ends produces a four sided shape with each side an arc, opposite sides being equal.
No. A normal trapezium has two parallel sides that are not equal in length, and two other sides joining the ends of the parallel sides which may be equal, but are usually not. If all four sides of a trapezium were equal in length, it would be called a rhombus as the sides would be parallel in pairs; and if the angles were 90° as well, it would be called a square.
a hexahedron with four rectangular sides and two square ends.
A regular polygon
They both have sides that are rectangular in shape. They both have a constant cross-sectional shape equal to the shape of the ends (triangle for a triangular prism; rectangle for a rectangular prism).
A rectangle has two sides longer than the two shorter ends.

None normally unless it is an isosceles trapezoid which has ends of equal lengths

A pentagon is a five-sided two-dimensional shape; simply draw a straight line, then another 2, one from each end of the first, and connect the last ends up.== == Any shape with five sides, doesn't matter how long or short.With five sides
A triangle is 3 lines or sides connected together at their ends. These lines are not always the same lengths.
A rather simplistic answer is: A cube or cuboid shape has (usually) 2 sides, 2 ends, 1 top and 1 bottom.
