All rectangular prisms have six faces, but if it's a RECTANGULAR prism, it's not possible for it to have six SQUARE faces, they only have two of those. In total, they usually have four rectangular faces and two square faces.

They can do. A cuboid (a brick, for example) is a prism with all its faces rectangular.


Can you draw a three dimensional figures whose lateral faces are rectangles that are prisms and pyramids?

Yes, three-dimensional figures can have lateral faces that are rectangles, specifically in the case of rectangular prisms and pyramids. A rectangular prism consists entirely of rectangular faces, including its lateral faces. In contrast, a rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base and triangular lateral faces, although it can be visualized with rectangular lateral sections if divided appropriately. Thus, while prisms have all rectangular lateral faces, pyramids typically feature triangular lateral faces.


How are cubes dirrerent from other rectangular prisms?

Cubes are a specific type of rectangular prism where all six faces are squares of equal size, meaning all edges have the same length. In contrast, rectangular prisms can have faces that are rectangles of varying dimensions, allowing for a wider range of shapes. While both share the same general properties of having length, width, and height, the uniformity of a cube sets it apart from other rectangular prisms. Thus, all cubes are rectangular prisms, but not all rectangular prisms are cubes.

How do you determine the base of a prism?

Look at the prism. If all faces are rectangular (or square) then so are the bases. Otherwise they are the two congruent parallel faces that are not rectangular. Look at the prism.
