They all have cross sections that remain constant when intersected by a plane perpendicular to their lengths.
Two prisms are similar if their corresponding faces are proportional and their corresponding angles are equal. This means that for two prisms to be similar, they must have the same shape but can differ in size. Therefore, prisms can be sometimes similar, depending on their dimensions and angles.
No, it is not always true that two prisms with congruent bases are similar. For two prisms to be similar, their corresponding dimensions must be in proportion, not just their bases. While congruent bases indicate that the shapes of the bases are the same, the heights or scaling of the prisms can differ, affecting their similarity. Thus, two prisms can have congruent bases but still not be similar if their heights or other dimensions differ.

Cylinders are circles pulled out into the third dimension and rectangular prisms are rectangles pulled into the third dimension.
The cylinder and the prisms bases are similar because its a flat surface.

They are both polyhedra.

True
That is correct.

They both have a rectangle at the bottom of the two prisms.
because they are based one one shape
