Rectangular prism, triangular prism, and cylinder.

Reason: any right prism cut by a plane perpendicular to its base gives a rectangle (height = prism height, width = the segment cut from the base). A right circular cylinder cut by a plane perpendicular to its bases gives a rectangle (height = cylinder height, width = the chord/diameter of the circular base).
