What is another name for a cuboid?

Answer 1

A cuboid is also known as a rectangular prism. It is a three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces, where each pair of opposite faces are equal in size and shape. The cuboid is characterized by its right angles and parallel opposite faces.

Answer 2

A cuboid is a solid figure bounded by six faces, forming a convex polyhedron. There are two competing incompatible definitions of a cuboid in the mathematical literature. In the more general definition of a cuboid, the only additional requirement is that these six faces each be a quadrilateral, and that the undirected graph formed by the vertices and edges of the polyhedron should be isomorphic to the graph of a cube. Alternatively, the word "cuboid" is sometimes used to refer to a shape of this type in which each of the faces is a rectangle, and in which each pair of adjacent faces meets in a right angle; this more restrictive type of cuboid is also known as a right cuboid, rectangular box, rectangular hexahedron, right rectangular prism or rectangular parallelopiped.
