Rectangular Cuboid


A rectangular prism is 1) a polyhedron with rectangular faces, 2) a parallelepiped with mutually perpendicular intersecting edges at a common vertex, or 3) a right prism with rectangular bases.

The opposite faces of a rectangular prism are parallel.


Surface Area of a Rectangular Prism

$$S_{t}=2(ab+bc+ac),$$


where,

a,b,c— lengths of the sides of the rectangular prism.


Volume of a Rectangular Prism

1. through three edges:

$$V=a\times b \times c,$$


a,b,c— lengths of the sides of the rectangular prism.

2. through the base area and height:

$$V=S_{p} \times h,$$


Sp— area of the base of the rectangular prism.
h— height of the rectangular prism.


Diagonal of a Rectangular Prism

The diagonal of a rectangular prism is a line segment connecting two non-adjacent vertices that are not in the same face.

$$d=\sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2}}$$
