A general prism has two congruent polygonal bases (faces), while the other faces are parallelogrammatic; a right prism is so-called when the general prism's remaining faces are rectangular.
An example of a right prism with two congruent rectangular bases is a cube if all other faces are equal to the bases; a cuboid prism is where the other faces are equal to each other but not necessarily to the bases.

Difference between prism and right prism?
The length of the prism is at right angles to the bases.
Is there a square prism?
technically a square prism would be a cube, so i guess not. Ignore that answer. There IS a square prism. A cube has all of its faces congruent and squares. A square prism can have 2 square bases and 4 rectangular lateral faces making it a square prism. Think of it as a rectangular prism right? Well replace the rectangle bases with squares and you have a square prism!
A cylinder in geometry is what?
A 3D figure with two circle bases, and a rectangle.

What polyhedron has two bases that are hexagons the other faces rectangle?
a hexagonal prism
Why does a prism or a cylinder have a set of parallel cross sections that are parallelograms?
The bases of a prism or cylinder are congruent and parallel and they meet the lateral face (cynder) or faces (prism) at right angles. A cross section parallel to the longitudinal axis will, therefore, be a rectangle.
How is a rectangle the same as a rectangular prism?
The rectangular prism is the 3D analogue of a rectangle. The main similarity is that all sides meet at right angles.
