because they fit in a larger box for transport and the boxes form a stronger structure for added crush resistence.

A rectangular prism.
They both have sides that are rectangular in shape. They both have a constant cross-sectional shape equal to the shape of the ends (triangle for a triangular prism; rectangle for a rectangular prism).
they are the same shape, so they will be alike.

a rectangular prism is like a juice box
They both have sides that are rectangular in shape. They both have a constant cross-sectional shape equal to the shape of the ends (triangle for a triangular prism; rectangle for a rectangular prism).
A rectangular prism can have 12 edges, but not every shape with 12 edges is a rectangular prism.
they are the same shape, so they will be alike.

A triangular prism has two triangular faces, a rectangular prism does not have any.
A prism has two parallel and congruent bases in the shape of polygons. Example - a cereal box (is rectangular prism). The top and bottom are rectangles(a polygon). They are the same size and shape (congruent) and also parallel. A cube (think of six sided dice) is a special rectangular prism. Imagine a a box where the top and bottom are triangles (of the shape size and shape). This is called a triangular prism.
