The difference in compressive strength is due to the difference between the modulus of elasticity of concrete and that of the steel which is used to apply the compressive force on the concrete. The pressure applies a lateral confinement pressure which is equal to d/3 meaning that for the cylinder, 2d/3 is confined leaving d/3 unconfined whereas for the cylinder 2d/3 is confined means all of the cube is confined. This leads to the cube having a higher compressive strength that the cylinder. For more information, try to read about the triaxial test and the effect of confinement on the compressive strength of soil samples.

What is different between a triangular prism and a cylinder?
A triangular prism has triangles as its bases...a cylinder has circles as its bases.no one fricken cares
Is there a difference between right cylinder and cylinder?
yes ones on the right
What the relationships between cylinder and prism?
Technically, a cylinder is a prism, as it has a fixed shape at the end.
What phrase describes the perpendicular distance between two bases of a cylinder?
It is the length or height of the cylinder
What is the relationsip between volume and radius of a cylinder?
It is volume of a cylinder = pi*radius2*height or length
