(geometry) A generalization of parallelogram and parallelepiped into a figure of arbitrary dimensionality.

Examples

The same arguments are also valid for a general parallelotope, except the isometry between the simplexes. Source: Internet

It could be any shape, although the volume equals that of the parallelotope. Source: Internet

Similarly, the volume of any n- simplex that shares n converging edges of a parallelotope has a volume equal to one 1/ n! of the volume of that parallelotope. Source: Internet

Specifically in n-dimensional space it is called n-dimensional parallelotope, or simply n-parallelotope. Source: Internet
