A rectangular parallelopiped or cuboid (আয়তঘন) is a three-dimensional solid bounded by six rectangular plane surfaces where every pair of adjacent faces meets at right angles ($90^\circ$).
| Geometric Element | Count | Description & Relationships |
|---|---|---|
| Faces (তল) | 6 | All 6 faces are rectangles. Opposite faces are identical (congruent) and parallel. |
| Edges (ধার বা প্রান্তরেখা) | 12 | Consists of 4 lengths ($l$), 4 breadths ($b$), and 4 heights ($h$). Total edge length $= 4(l + b + h)$. |
| Vertices (শীর্ষবিন্দু) | 8 | Points where three mutually perpendicular edges intersect. |
| Diagonals (কর্ণ) | 4 | Body diagonals connecting opposite opposite vertices through the center of the solid. |
A cube is a special rectangular parallelopiped whose length, breadth, and height are all equal ($l = b = h = a$). All six faces are congruent squares of side length $a$.
