In geometry, a hyperrectangle (also called a box, hyperbox, or orthotope[2]), is the generalization of a rectangle (a plane figure) and the rectangular cuboid (a solid figure) to higher dimensions. A necessary and sufficient condition is that it is congruent to the Cartesian product of finite intervals. If all of the edges are equal length, it is a hypercube. A hyperrectangle is a special case of a parallelotope.
