A triangular prism has two triangular faces, a rectangular prism does not have any.
A rectangular prism will have 8 vertices. A triangular pyramid will have 4 vertices. 8 - 4 = 4
One is a triangle base...and the other a rectangle..
A shape that has fewer than 8 faces and fewer than 10 edges is a triangular prism. A triangular prism has 5 faces (2 triangular faces and 3 rectangular faces) and 9 edges. It meets the criteria of having fewer than 8 faces and fewer than 10 edges.
Presumably a rectangular prism is the same as a rectangle prism with maybe different dimensions
A triangular prism has 5 faces. Pentagonal prisms and hexagonal pyramids have 7.
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
A triangular pyramid, square pyramid, triangular prism,rectangular prism,septagonal prism. Anything that has more than corner.
Triangular prism: 6 Rectangular pyramid: 5 So the answer is 1.

You can call it a "triangular prism" rather than "triangular based prism" ... saying a prism is "triangular" imply that the base is a triangle. There's no other name that I know of. A prism is just a 3d shape, so all you have to say is <type of shape> + prism to get the point across.

If they have the same height, then the rectangular prism will require more paint. (Having the same height the prism will have more surface area than the pyramid).
