A cuboid (rectangular prism) is the only shape with 6 rectangular faces (3 pairs of rectangles in fact). A cube is a special type of cuboid where all the rectangles are squares. Both cubes and cuboids are special types of hexahedron (polyhedrons with 6 faces).

The only shape with 6 equal rectangular faces is the hexagonal prism. However, since it also has two hexagonal faces it is therefore an irregular octahedron rather than a hexahedron.

If the length of the sides is the same throughout, then it is a CUBE.

If the length of the sides varies , then it is a CUBOID .
