Cuboid

A cuboid is a solid figure bounded by six rectangular faces. Hence it is like a box that has all sides rectangular. A special case of the cuboid is the square cuboid, which has two (or more) opposite faces squares. A special case of the square cuboid is the cube, which has all faces as squares.

The square cuboid could also be classified as a right square prism.

The volume of a cuboid is the product of the length of three of its sides, none of which are parallel to each other, expressed in appropriate units. (This can easily be discovered by making cuboids with blocks). For example, if a cuboid has edge lengths of 6cm, 8cm and 10cm then its volume is 480 cm3.
