what is a polygon @jim_thompson5910
any shape made of straight lines (eg: triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon, hexagon) the shape is closed like walls in a house
is it a square????? @jim_thompson5910
well actually a rectangular prism is made up of 6 rectangles (glued to form a 3D shape)
a cube??????
yeah it's like a cube but not really
rectangular prism = 3D box
i dont know?????

so its a rectangular prism?????@jim_thompson5910
think of the original question What kind of polygon is included a net of a triangular prism and a net of a rectangular prism?
and look at the nets I gave you
all you have to do is list the shapes
the two shapes that i see are a square and a triangle
it's not a square though, it's a rectangle
so rectangle and triangle for triangular prism
and just rectangle for rectangular prism (there are no other shapes for this one)
so its a rectangle
for rectangular prism, yep just that
for triangular prism, rectangles and triangles
thanks
