Rectangular Prism

A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional shape consisting of six rectangular flat faces. It is a prism with two rectangular bases and four lateral rectangular faces, twelve sides, and eight vertices. According to mathematical studies, a cuboid is any polyhedron that resembles a rectangular prism. In a rectangular prism, every angle is a right angle. It is also known as a rectangular hexahedron, a right rectangular prism, and a rectangular parallelepiped.

In geometry, a prism is a three-dimensional shaped object that has two identical polygons facing each other and is laterally connected by rectangular or parallelogram faces. These identical polygons are called the bases of the prism and can be of any shape, such as triangles, squares, rectangles, or any n-sided polygon. A prism is a significant member of the polyhedron family. Depending upon the type of the polygonal base, a prism is classified into two types: regular and irregular prisms. And depending upon the alignment of the bases, there are two types of prisms: right prisms and oblique prisms. Furthermore, based on the shape of the polygonal base a prism is classified into different types: triangular prism, rectangular prism, square prism, pentagonal prism, hexagonal prism, etc.
