A rectangular prism has 4 sides, and a triangular prism has three. Its like asking the difference between a Square and a Triangle!
the difference is a triangular pyramid has a point at the top and a triangular prism doesn't and a triangular pyramid has a square at the bottom and tringular prism doesn't
A triangular prism has triangular bases, a heagonal prism has ... you guessed it! ... hexagonal bases.
A pyramid is a triangular 3D shape. A prism can be rectangular too.
A tetrahedron is a polyhedron with four triangular faces, while a triangular prism is a polyhedron with two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. The main difference between the two shapes is their number of faces and their base shapes. Additionally, a tetrahedron has four vertices and six edges, while a triangular prism has six vertices and nine edges.
You can have a triangular prism but not a triangular cuboid which is a rectangular shape.
A rectangular prism has 4 sides, and a triangular prism has three. Its like asking the difference between a Square and a Triangle!

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 prism has to triangular bases while a rectangular prism has a rectangle as the bases.
The rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section; the triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. Any other difference would be related to this fact - for example, differences in the formulae for the surface area, for the volume, etc.
rectangular prism
Rectangular prism = 6Triangular prism = 5 Triangular pyramid = 4 Rectangular prism: it is still 6 Rectangular pyramid = 5.
A triangular prism has two triangular faces, a rectangular prism does not have any.
They are both prisms.
