A cuboid is a solid that has six rectangular faces--think of a typical box. All faces are either parallel or perpendicular to each other. Further, a cuboid is a right rectangular prism. A cuboid with six square faces is a cube, whereas a cuboid with at least two square faces is known as a square cuboid.

Finding Area and Volume of a Cuboid

If a given cuboid has dimensions $a \times b \times c$, then the volume is derived by computing $a\cdot b \cdot c$, whereas the surface area is simply $2ab + 2bc + 2ac$
