The three faces of the prism may be, but are not necessarily, rectangles. It depends on how the ends of the prism are cut/shaped.
They both have sides that are rectangular in shape. They both have a constant cross-sectional shape equal to the shape of the ends (triangle for a triangular prism; rectangle for a rectangular prism).
a triangular prism has to triangular bases while a rectangular prism has a rectangle as the bases.
A triangular prism
A triangular prism has two triangular faces, a rectangular prism does not have any.
A triangular prism can have right angles. If the prism has two triangular ends, then each of the three 'sides' meets each of the ends at right angles.
A triangular prism has five surfaces: two triangular faces, and three rectangular faces.
There are a total of three parallelograms in a triangular prism. Each of the sides are parallelograms, while the ends are triangles.
A triangular prism is so called because the shape of the ends is a triangle. A triangular pyramid is so called because the shape of the base is a triangle.

The answer depends on what measurements you do have.
triangular prism
They both have sides that are rectangular in shape. They both have a constant cross-sectional shape equal to the shape of the ends (triangle for a triangular prism; rectangle for a rectangular prism).
a triangular prism has to triangular bases while a rectangular prism has a rectangle as the bases.
a triangular prism is different from a rectangular prism because: their names are different a triangular prism has a triangle for its' base a rectangular prism has a rectangle base a triangular prism has less sides than a rectangular prism a rectangular prism has more sides than a triangular prism
