BookmarkA cube is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex.
The cube can also be called a regular hexahedron and is one of the five Platonic solids.
It is a special kind of square prism, of rectangular parallelepiped and of 3-sided trapezohedron.
The cube is dual to the octahedron.
It has cubical symmetry (also called octahedral symmetry).
A cube is the three-dimensional case of the more general concept of a hypercube, which exists in any dimension..
