In [[geometry]], a '''cuboid''' is a [[convex polyhedron]] bounded by six [[quadrilateral]] faces, whose [[polyhedral graph]] is the same as that of a [[cube]]. While some mathematical literature refers to any such polyhedron as a cuboid,<ref>{{citation|title=Polytopes and Symmetry|first=Stewart Alexander|last=Robertson|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=1984|isbn=978-0-521-27739-6|page=75}}</ref> other sources use "cuboid" to refer to a shape of this type in which each of the faces is a [[rectangle]] (and so each pair of adjacent faces meets in a [[right angle]]); this more restrictive type of cuboid is also known as a '''rectangular cuboid''', '''right cuboid''', '''rectangular [[box]]''', '''rectangular [[hexahedron]]''', '''right rectangular prism''', or '''rectangular [[parallelepiped]]'''.<ref>{{citation|title=Elements of Synthetic Solid Geometry|first=Nathan Fellowes|last=Dupuis|publisher=Macmillan|year=1893|page=53}}</ref>
 
==General cuboids==
By [[Euler characteristic|Euler's formula]] the number of faces ('F'), vertices (''V''), and edges (''E'') of any convex polyhedron are related by the formula "F + V " = E + 2 . In the case of a cuboid this gives 6 + 8  = 12 + 2; that is, like a cube, a cuboid has 6 [[Face (geometry)|faces]], 8 [[vertex (geometry)|vertices]], and 12 edges.
 
Along with the rectangular cuboids, any [[parallelepiped]] is a cuboid of this type, as is a square [[frustum]] (the shape formed by truncation of the apex of a [[square pyramid]]).
 
==Rectangular cuboid==

|}In a rectangular cuboid, all angles are [[right angle]]s, and opposite faces of a cuboid are [[congruence (geometry)|equal]]. It is also a '''right rectangular [[Prism (geometry)|prism]]'''. The term "rectangular or oblong prism" is ambiguous. Also the term ''rectangular [[parallelepiped]]'' or orthogonal parallelepiped is used.
 
The '''square cuboid''', '''square box''', or '''right square prism''' (also ambiguously called ''square prism'') is a special case of the cuboid in which at least two faces are squares. The [[cube (geometry)|cube]] is a special case of the square cuboid in which all six faces are squares.
 
If the dimensions of a cuboid are ''a'', ''b'' and ''c'', then its [[volume]] is ''abc'' and its [[surface area]] is 2''ab'' + 2''ac'' + 2''bc''.
 
The length of the [[space diagonal]] is
:<math>d = \sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}.\ </math>
 
Cuboid shapes are often used for [[box]]es, [[cupboard]]s, [[Room (architecture)|room]]s, buildings, etc. Cuboids are among those solids that can [[Honeycomb (geometry)|tessellate 3-dimensional space]]. The shape is fairly versatile in being able to contain multiple smaller cuboids, e.g. [[sugar]] cubes in a box, boxes in a cupboard, cupboards in a room, and rooms in a building.
 
A cuboid with integer edges as well as integer face diagonals is called an [[Euler brick]], for example with sides 44, 117 and 240.
A [[Euler brick#Perfect cuboid|perfect cuboid]] is an Euler brick whose space diagonal is also an integer.  It is currently unknown whether a perfect cuboid actually exists.

Hello and welcome. My title is Irwin and I completely dig that name. Years in the past we meal delivery service moved to North Dakota and I adore each day residing right here. It's not a common thing but what she likes doing is base leaping and now she is trying to earn cash with it. Hiring has been my occupation for some time but I've already applied for an additional one.
