Cube (3d)

A cube is a three-dimensional geometric shape with six square faces, all of equal size. It has 12 edges and 8 vertices, and all angles are right angles (90 degrees). The volume of a cube is calculated by cubing the length of one side (s³). Key Properties of a Cube:
Faces: A cube has six square faces.
Edges: It has 12 edges, where two faces meet.
Vertices: It has 8 vertices, where three edges meet.
Angles: All angles in a cube are right angles (90 degrees).
Symmetry: A cube is a very symmetrical three-dimensional shape.
Volume: The volume of a cube is calculated by cubing the side length (s³).
Surface Area: The surface area of a cube is 6 times the area of one of its square faces (6s²).
Diagonals: A cube has four space diagonals that connect opposite vertices.
Relationship to Cuboids: A cube is a special type of cuboid where all dimensions (length, width, and height) are equal.
