Question: What is Rectangular Prism ?

Answer:

This is a prism whose cross-section is a rectangle, so it is equivalent to a cuboid.

In geometry, a cuboid or rectangular prism is a solid figure bounded by six rectangular faces: a rectangular box. All angles are right angles, and opposite faces of a cuboid are equal. It is also a right rectangular prism.

The term rectangular or oblong prism is ambiguous. Cuboid shapes are often used for boxes, cupboards, rooms, buildings, etc. Cuboids are among those solids that can tessellate 3-dimensional space.
