rectangular prism

Six-faced solid shape

A rectangular prism is a three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces, like a box or brick.

All angles are right angles, and opposite faces are identical.

In geometry class, it's the shape you calculate volume for by multiplying length times width times height: The rectangular prism measured 4 by 3 by 2 inches.
