a shape with six sides with layers
No. It is a parallelopiped. And, if it is a right rectangular prism then it is a cuboid.
no
No, a pencil is not a rectangular prism. While it has a cylindrical shape, with a round body and pointed tip, a rectangular prism has six rectangular faces with right angles. A pencil's geometry is more akin to a cylinder than to a prism.
yes, they are different.
A rectangular prism has six faces; each face has four right angles. There are 24 right angles in all.

Although there is a separate formula for it, yes, a cube is technically a rectangular prism, and you can use the rectangular prism's formula, because a rectangle is defined as a quadrilateral with four right angles, which a square is.

24 right angles
The rectangular prism is the 3D analogue of a rectangle. The main similarity is that all sides meet at right angles.
Rectangular prism = 6Triangular prism = 5 Triangular pyramid = 4 Rectangular prism: it is still 6 Rectangular pyramid = 5.
A rectangular prism is a hexahedron with some rectangular sides. There is no requirement that all sides be rectangles. If they are, the solid is a right rectangular prism, or cuboid.
