A prism can have a triangular cross-section with a rectangular base
A prism with an n-sided base will have 2n vertices. A pyramid with an n-sided base will have n + 1 vertices. 6, 4, 8 and 5 vertices respectively.
No. The 'rectangular' or 'triangular' refer to the shape of the base of the prism. These are different.
The base of a triangular prism is a triangle and the base of a square pyramid is a square.
The difference in a triangular and rectangular pyramid only has to do with the base of the pyramid, which in turn decide how many sides the pyramid will have. A triangular pyramid has a base shaped like a triangle, which ends up having a total of 4 sides (including the base itself). A rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base, which ends up having a total of 5 sides (including the base itself).

Neither a triangular nor a rectangular pyramid has a square base. A square pyramid has a square base.
A triangular prism.
The base of a triangular prism is a triangle and the base of a square pyramid is a square.
A triangular PYRAMID has a triangular base.
Triangular prism
Yes, a rectangular pyramid is made of four triangular faces and a rectangular base.
A triangular prism has two congruent triangular bases in parallel planes and three rectangular faces joining them together. A triangular pyramid has four triangular faces, a triangular base and three triangular faces meeting at an apex above the base. Triangular prism: 6 vertices, 5 faces, 9 edges Triangular pyramid: 4 vertices, 4 faces, 6 edges
A rectangular pyramid has 5 faces: a rectangular base, and 4 triangular faces.
It is called a triangular prism.
