It is a hexahedron, a six-faced solid.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A cuboid contains only right angles at their corner points. If there is any other type of angle, then it is not a cuboid. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A cuboid is also a prism since it has a rectangular cross-section all the way through. It\u2019s known as a rectangular prism.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Every cube is also a cuboid, but every cuboid is not a cube.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Euler_characteristic\">Euler&#8217;s formula<\/a> the numbers of faces <em>F<\/em>, of vertices <em>V<\/em>, and of edges <em>E<\/em> of any convex polyhedron are related by the formula <em>F<\/em> + <em>V<\/em> = <em>E<\/em> + 2.
