1. Parallelepiped

   In geometry, a parallelepiped is a three-dimensional figure formed by six parallelograms (the term rhomboid is also sometimes used with this meaning). By analogy, it relates to a parallelogram just as a cube relates to a square. In Euclidean geometry, the four concepts—parallelepiped and cube in three dimensions, parallelogram and square in two dimensions—are defined, but in the context of a more general affine geometry, in which angles are not differentiated, only parallelograms and parallelepipeds exist. Three equivalent definitions of parallelepiped are a polyhedron with six faces (hexahedron), each of which is a parallelogram, a hexahedron with three pairs of parallel faces, and a prism of which the base is a parallelogram.The rectangular cuboid (six rectangular faces), cube (six square faces), and the rhombohedron (six rhombus faces) are all specific cases of parallelepiped. "Parallelepiped" is now usually pronounced or ; traditionally it was PARR-ə-lel-EP-ih-ped in accordance with its etymology in Greek παραλληλεπίπεδον parallelepipedon, a body "having parallel planes". Parallelepipeds are a subclass of the prismatoids.

1. parallelepiped

   A parallelepiped is a three-dimensional geometric shape that is formed by translating a two-dimensional parallelogram along a line parallel to a side of the parallelogram but not in its plane. Conversely, it can also be described as a prism whose base is a parallelogram. The faces of a parallelepiped are parallelograms and the opposite faces are equal. It has 12 edges, 8 vertices, and 6 faces.

Parallelepipeds are a subclass of the prismatoids.
