Answer:

No, a square is NOT the cross section of a rectangular and triangular prism.

Explanation:

Prisms have a uniform cross-section and are named after their cross-section. Hence, the cross-section of a rectangular prism is a rectangle and the cross-section of a triangular prism is a triangle. The only prism with a square cross-section is a cube.
