PARALLELEPIPED
Parallelepiped
In geometry, a parallelepiped is a three-dimensional figure formed by six parallelograms. By analogy, it relates to a parallelogram just as a cube relates to a square or as a cuboid to a rectangle. In Euclidean geometry, its definition encompasses all four concepts . In this context of affine geometry, in which angles are not differentiated, its definition admits only parallelograms and parallelepipeds.
