Square and rectangles
A rectangular prism is the only shape that is made up from only rectangular faces. But there are countless shapes which contain rectangular faces along with other shapes.
Rectangle
In a rectangular prism, a "face" refers to any of the flat surfaces that make up its boundary. A rectangular prism has six faces, each of which is a rectangle. These faces include the top, bottom, and four side surfaces, all meeting at edges and corners. The orientation of these faces can vary depending on how the prism is positioned, but they are always rectangular in shape.
A prism is made up of two parallel polygonal bases and several rectangular lateral faces that connect the corresponding sides of the bases. The number of polygons in a prism can be calculated by adding the two bases to the lateral faces. If the base is an n-sided polygon, the prism will have a total of n + 2 polygons (the two bases plus n rectangular lateral faces).
A pentagonal prism has 7 faces in total: 2 pentagonal bases and 5 rectangular lateral faces. Among these faces, there are no triangular faces. Thus, a pentagonal prism does not have any triangle faces.

A pentagonal prism has 7 faces in total: 2 pentagonal bases and 5 rectangular lateral faces. Among these faces, there are no triangular faces. Thus, a pentagonal prism does not have any triangle faces.
There are a total of 6 faces on a rectangular prism. Each side is a rectangle. (Try looking up a picture, it will help you visualize it)
A rectangular prism that is 4 cubes by 2 cubes is made up of 8 cubes.
Of rectangles and squares.
rectangular pyramid
Oh, dude, it's like super simple. So, to find the area of a rectangular prism, you just need to calculate the total surface area by adding up the areas of all the individual faces. It's like, you find the area of the base (length x width) and then multiply it by the height of the prism. Voilà, you've got the area of a rectangular prism!
A rectangular prism has 6 flat surfaces
Triangular Prism
A trianglular prism is made up of triangles and rectangles, so its net must have the same shapes.
The shape is a triangular prism. This is a 3-dimensional polygon with two ends that are triangles and three rectangular sides connecting them.* * * * *FYI, a 3-dimensional polygon is known as a polyhedron.
