Why is a cube a rectangularr prisam?
A rectangular prism is a hexahedron with six rectangular faces, each on which meets two others at right angles. In the special case that the rectangles are squares the shape is a cube so a cube is a special case of a rectangular prism.
Is a cube than a rectangular prism?
No, a cube is a cube and a rectangular prism is a rectangular prism. They are two different shapes.

How is a rectangular prism and a cube alike?
They're 3D figures. Also, a cube is a type of rectangular prism (This can be taken from the fact that a square is a type of rectangle, because a rectangle is a parallelogram with right angles). Both figures have 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges. All the angles are right angles (in measure of 2-dimensional views). Note: Even though a cube is a type of rectangular prism, not all rectangular prisms are cubes.
