A parallelepiped at the base of which a rhombus lies, and the side edges are perpendicular

A parallelepiped at the base of which a rhombus lies, and the side edges are perpendicular to the plane of the base, is called …?

Based on the definition, a parallelepiped is a polyhedron, each of the available six faces of which is a parallelogram. Since a rhombus is a parallelogram with equal sides, such a parallelepiped can be. If in this parallelepiped the side edges are perpendicular to the base plane, then the side faces of this parallelepiped will be parallelograms with right angles. It is well known that such parallelograms are called rectangles, therefore, such a parallelepiped, by definition, will be straight.

Answer: straight parallelepiped.
