Is a rectangular prism a cube?
No. It is a parallelopiped. And, if it is a right rectangular prism then it is a cuboid.
When is a face of a three-dimensional figure also a cross-section of that same figure?
When the 3-d shape is a prism and the cross section is in a plane at right angles to the length of the prism.
What is the definition of a right rectangular prism?
no
Is there a difference between a right rectangular prism and a rectanglar prism?
yes, they are different.
How many right angles on all the faces of a rectangular prism?
A rectangular prism has six faces; each face has four right angles. There are 24 right angles in all.
What is a prism with a cross-section of a right angled triangle?
A right-angled triangular prism!
Is a rectangular prism a cube?

When is a face of a three-dimensional figure also a cross-section of that same figure?
When the 3-d shape is a prism and the cross section is in a plane at right angles to the length of the prism.
What is the volume for a trapezoidal right prism?
Area of trapezoidal cross-section x length.
How do you work out the volume of a right prism?
Its volume is its cross-section area times its length.
How many right angles are in a triangular -prism?
14 if the triangular cross section has a right triangle, 12 otherwise.
What is the definition of a right rectangular prism?
no

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.
Is a cube is a rectangular prism?
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.
How many right angles does a rectangular prism have?
8?
