Cylinders are like rectangular prisms because cylinders are also prisms. A cylinder is a circular prism.
It's like squeezing toothpaste out of the tube. Take the cap off your toothpaste and make sure the toothpaste is neatly flat. Then squeeze a bit out and cut that off neatly. You have a little piece of stuff that is a circular prism in shape, or a cylinder.
A prism has to have two flat ends, both the same shape, and between the two ends the sides have to be straight from one end to the other.
A new pencil which has no sharpened end is usually a cylinder or a hexagonal prism. They make pencils these days that are triangular prisms. Kids learning to hold a pencil properly use them because they fit neatly in the thumb and the first two fingers.
A cylinder is different because it is has no edges and a rectangular prism does. A cylinder has two faces and a rectangular prism has 6. A cylinder doesn't have any verticies and a rectangular prism has 8.
both 3d Alike: Both Cylinder and Prism have the same corresponding Top and Bottom. This is the definition. A Cylinder can be considered as a prism with infinite no. of sides. Different: The side walls of any Prism are flat but that of a cylinder is curved.
A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross section whereas a cylinder has a circular cross section
5. A rectangular prism has 5 and a cylinder has none.
Because a rectangular prism has straight edges whereas a a cylinder has curved edges.

A cylinder has a circular cross section, a rectangular prism has a rectangular cross section.
A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross section whereas a cylinder has a circular cross section
5. A rectangular prism has 5 and a cylinder has none.
A rectangular prism is a cuboid which has 8 vertices (corners), while a triangular prism has six verticesA triangular prism is like a cylinder but with triangles instead of circlesA rectangular prism is the same
The surface area of a cylinder prism has round shape and the surface of a rectangular prism has a square shape.
A cylinder contains 2 faces that are circles and a rectangular prism contains 6 faces that a a rectangle.
Because a rectangular prism has straight edges whereas a a cylinder has curved edges.
They are NOT the same. But they are similar in the sense that if the rectangles at the end of the rectangular prism were replaced by polygons with n sides, and if that n were allowed to increase without limit, then the shape would become closer and closer to a prism.
A rectangular prism.
Both the cylinder and rectangular prism are solid objects. Volume of both can be found by multiplying the area of the base by the height.
