Diagonals of a Cuboid
Cuboid is a 3D shape, so there are two types of diagonals in a cuboid that are,
- Face Diagonal
- Space Diagonal
Let’s learn about them in detail.
Face Diagonal
We can draw the face diagonals by connecting the opposite vertices on a particular face of a cuboid. Only two diagonals can be drawn on one face of a cuboid and a cuboid has 6 faces so, a total of 12 face diagonals are there in a cuboid.
Space Diagonal
When we join a line segment from the opposite vertices of a cuboid, we get a space diagonal. The space diagonals transverse through the inner region of the cuboid. Hence, 4 space diagonals can be drawn inside it.

Cuboid – Shape and Properties
Cuboid is a three-dimensional shape that looks like a rectangular box in our everyday life. Cuboids have 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices. A cuboid is also called a rectangular prism. Example of a cuboid in real life is a shoe box.
In this article, we will learn about all things cuboid such as definition, shape, dimensions, and others in detail.
