What is a rectangular parallelepiped?
A rectangular parallelepiped is a three-dimensional structure whose all the six faces are in a rectangular shape and the length of the parallel edges are equal. What is the shape of parallelepiped? A parallelepiped is a three-dimensional figure made of six parallelograms. It has straight edges and flat faces. The shape is related to parallelogram.
How many parallelograms are in a parallelepiped?
A parallelepiped is a three-dimensional figure made of six parallelograms. It has straight edges and flat faces. The shape is related to parallelogram. What is the area of parallelepiped? The surface area of parallelepiped is equal to the sum of the lateral surface area and twice the base area.
How many vertices does a parallelepiped have?
The word 'parallelepiped' is derived from the Greek word parallelepipdon, meaning "a body having parallel bodies". We can say that a parallelepiped relates with a parallelogram just like a cube relates with a square. Parallelepiped has 6 parallelogram-shaped faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges.
How do you find the base area of a parallelepiped?
The three pairs of parallel faces form a hexahedron. For a given parallelepiped, let S is the area of the bottom face and H is the height, then the volume formula is given by; Since the base of parallelepiped is in the shape of a parallelogram, therefore we can use the formula for the area of the parallelogram to find the base area.
