First of all, it's polygon, not polgon. Second of all, a cube is not a polygon. A polygon is a two-dimensional shape. A cube is a form of a prism. A prism's suffix is hedron.That means that a cube is a hexahedron, according to the number of sides. Though many people think of a hexagon when they hear that, it is disregarding the 'shape' hexagon. A hexagon has six sides, right? Well, a 3 dimensional cube has six sides as well, therefore it would be a hexahedron. The proper name for any given prism would be polyhedron. Not polygon. Thank you for your question.
Yes, but only if one face of one prism is congruent to a face of the other.
A hexahedron in the form of a triangular bipyramid: two triangular pyramids stuck together.
Make an hexahedron in the form of a triangular dipyramid. See link for images.
Any. You can have a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron), a rectangular one, a pentagonal one, and so on. Similarly, you can have a triangular prism, a rectangular prism, and so on.
A prism has the same cross section throughout its length no matter what form it may take i.e. a cubic prism, a cuboid prism, a triangular prism, a hexagonal prism, a cylindrical prism etc.

The correct spellings are VERTICES and EDGES.The general shape is a hexahedron. The regular form is a cube but you can also have a cuboid (rectangular faces), rhombohedron (rhombus), parallelpiped (parallelograms) and others.The correct spellings are VERTICES and EDGES.The general shape is a hexahedron.

rectangles and triangles
In the form of a quadrilateral based pyramid, it has 5. In the form of a triangular based prism, it has 6.
A pentahedron in the form of a square pyramid has 5 vertices and in the form of a triangular prism has 6 vertices.
A triangular prism has five bases because it can be flipped over to form five different bases
