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.


Why are the pyramids so triangular?

Because if their lateral faces were not triangular they would not be called pyramids!
