This meaning I knew, but one of the meanings of cuboid as a noun is in cuboid bone ( os cuboides), one of the bones of the foot, between the calcaneum and the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones.
Resembling a cube of a form approximating to that of a cube cuboidal spec. I checked the Oxford English Dictionary and found that cuboid is both an adjective and a noun. I was not aware of this meaning of the word cuboid. (they even got the answer right on The Answerbank website.) We wouldn't want websurfers at large thinking there is no such thing as a cuboid. Please post this or at least let Jack know. Penny replied there wasn't any name aside from box. The question was asked by Jack here about what a 3d rectangle would be called. So I know this might sound nit-picky but I had a question that wasn't resolved by your website and then found the answer somewhere else. I think the most common name is rectangular box or just box. I don't know of a simple technical name like cube. This daughter has named foam packing peanuts as "ghost poo". If I don't find the correct term, she will invent one. The shape is as common as a brick yet I can think of no simple answer. The correct name should apply even if two of the faces are squares or if two faces are rectangles. I came up with rectangular box, rectangular prism, and rectangular parallelepiped. This should be elementary but I have a MS and can't answer my daughters question.Įssentially she asked if a cube is a 3D square, what is the name of a 3D rectangle?
