A "3-d rectangle" is called a rectangular prism, or rectangular solid.
Note that the answer "parallelepiped" is incorrect. A parallelepiped is the 3-d analogue of a parallelogram. (So all rectangular prisms are parallepipeds, but not all parallelepipeds are rectangular prisms.)
Apparently "cuboid" is also used, as suggested by a previous answerer, but I have not heard this term before. To the best of my knowledge, "rectangular prism" and "rectangular solid" are the most frequently used terms, at least in the United States.
The term "box" is not used by mathematicians. (But you can use it if you want to; I'm sure everyone will know what you mean.)

that is not substantial that's the peak. i'm assuming you recommend quantity and not section... that is fairly ordinary, you in basic terms multiply all the size 4 hundred*six hundred*one hundred eighty (the reason that it is not substantial that's the peak is that when you think of roughly it, in case you will rotate the rectangle and seem at it from a diverse view the one hundred eighty can strengthen into the width or something however the quantity will stay an identical because of the fact that is an identical rectangle only circled. so lower back, the respond is 4 hundred*six hundred*one hundred eighty that's ofcourse equivalent to six hundred*4 hundred*one hundred eighty and likewise equivalent to one hundred eighty*six hundred*4 hundred very final consequence 40 3,two hundred,000

A parallelepiped.
But you cannot have all six sides as equal rectangles (unless they are squares).

rectangular prism... or a cuboid! (Which I've never heard of before)
