  2. Parallelepiped - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelepiped

    a polyhedron with six faces (hexahedron), each of which is a parallelogram, 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 ...

  3. Cuboid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuboid

    A cuboid is a hexahedron with quadrilateral faces, meaning it is a polyhedron with six faces. It has eight vertices and twelve edges. Etymologically, "cuboid" means "like a cube ", in the sense of a convex solid which can be transformed into a cube by adjusting the lengths of its edges and the angles between its adjacent faces.

  4. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

    The surface-area-to-volume ratio has physical dimension inverse length (L −1) and is therefore expressed in units of inverse metre (m -1) or its prefixed unit multiples and submultiples. As an example, a cube with sides of length 1 cm will have a surface area of 6 cm 2 and a volume of 1 cm 3. The surface to volume ratio for this cube is thus.

  5. Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube

    The volume of a cuboid is the product of length, width, and height. Because the edges of a cube are all equal in length, it is: [ 4 ] V = a 3 . {\displaystyle V=a^{3}.} One special case is the unit cube , so-named for measuring a single unit of length along each edge.

  6. Packing problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    Packing problems are a class of optimization problems in mathematics that involve attempting to pack objects together into containers. The goal is to either pack a single container as densely as possible or pack all objects using as few containers as possible. Many of these problems can be related to real-life packaging, storage and ...

  7. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square–cube_law

    Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3. The original cube (1 m sides) has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1. The larger (2 m sides) cube has a surface area to volume ratio of (24/8) 3:1. As the dimensions increase, the volume will continue to grow faster than the surface area. Thus the square–cube law.

    Volume Cuboid: a, b = the sides of the cuboid's base c = the third side of the cuboid Right-rectangular pyramid: a, b = the sides of the base h = the distance is from ...

  9. Rectangular cuboid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangular_cuboid

    A cube, a special case of the square rectangular box. A rectangular cuboid is a convex polyhedron with six rectangle faces. These are often called "cuboids", without qualifying them as being rectangular, but a cuboid can also refer to a more general class of polyhedra, with six quadrilateral faces. [1] The dihedral angles of a rectangular ...
