The net described in your question consists of 2 triangles and 3 rectangles. This configuration is characteristic of a triangular prism. The presence of the triangles suggests that the bases of the prism are triangular, while the rectangles represent the lateral faces connecting the triangular bases. Therefore, the correct answer is:
triangular prism
