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 
, then its volume is 
, and its surface area is 
Finding the space diagonal of a cuboid
The space diagonal of a cuboid, 
, is found by the formula 
, where 
,
and 
are the side lengths of the solid
