Talk:Hyperrectangle

Completness

I think there should be some notices about the properties of a Hyperrectangle, e.g. Volume. 12:34, June 3 2012

References

I added the references template. I think this is a useful concept, but never heard of any use of it. Tom Ruen 20:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Move to Orthotope?

I found a Mathworld reference to an apparently identical definition:

• Weisstein, Eric W. "Orthotope". MathWorld.

  Coxeter, H. S. M. Regular Polytopes, 3rd ed. New York: Dover, pp. 122-123, 1973.

I'll move this article to Orthotope, if there's no objections. Tom Ruen 16:12, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I added orthotope term, and references, and relink orthotope here. Tom Ruen 18:56, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Redundant links removed

I just removed three links from the article that I found to be redundant. I wanted to explain what I did here, because the edit summary box seemed too small.

• I removed a link to rectangular. This is a redirect to rectangle, which is linked previously in the section.
• I removed a link to prism because it was near a link to cuboid that I felt was more illustrative of the subject. Upon reflection, this might have been overkill. If someone wants to add it back, though, they should link to prism (geometry).
• I removed a link to Cartesian product. There was an identical link earlier in the section.

likely?

A four-dimensional orthotope is likely a hypercuboid.

What does that even mean? Can it be quantified? —Tamfang (talk) 23:35, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Shouldn't the article say what "n" stands for?

I'm decades past high school. I didn't know what 'n' was so I had to do a bit of math in my head to figure it out by guess and check. Is this such a commonly known thing that it doesn't need to be listed in any of these articles? What if it's somebody's very first geometry article? Shouldn't it say " 'n' = the number of dimensions?" 209.6.14.114 (talk) 21:22, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
