When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Never mind roughly: "rectangular in shape with a slightly inclined roof". Those parallelograms and parallelepipeds are needlessly exact.
sloping cubes

thought the angle might be involved, though:
By analogy, it relates to a parallelogram just as a cube relates to a square or as a cuboid to a rectangle.

: nope, ma'am: rectangle is just a particular case of ppp'ed whilst the latter may have two angles of >90° and two of < 90°... 'long as the opposite sides are parallel it's a ppp'ed

: It's the exact equivalent - it's not up to us to make esthetic judgments about the word.

Wikipedia
A three-dimensional figure formed by six parallelograms.
Three equivalent definitions of parallelepiped are. a polyhedron with six faces (hexahedron), each of which is a parallelogram, a hexahedron with three pairs of parallel faces, and. a prism of which the base is a parallelogram.
