A triangle with a rectangular base is typically referred to as a triangular prism when considering the three-dimensional shape. However, if you're referring specifically to a two-dimensional triangle that has one of its sides as the base of a rectangle, it doesn't have a unique name and is generally just called a triangle. In the context of geometry, the key characteristics would be the right angle formed at the base if the triangle is right-angled.

How is a triangular and a rectangular pyramid different?
The difference in a triangular and rectangular pyramid only has to do with the base of the pyramid, which in turn decide how many sides the pyramid will have. A triangular pyramid has a base shaped like a triangle, which ends up having a total of 4 sides (including the base itself). A rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base, which ends up having a total of 5 sides (including the base itself).
