Definition of cuboid (from Chambers): a solid body having six rectangular faces, the opposite faces of which are equal. (which basically means brick shaped)

If ALL sides are equal length then each of those rectangles has to be a square and all are equal in size i.e. the solid body has to be a cube.

An Euler brick has different lengths for its sides because they are relatively prime.
A cube is a regular hexahedron.
