kubus

Also known as 3-hypercube, regular hexahedron, 3-cube

AI overview

A cube is a three-dimensional shape made up of six identical square faces connected by twelve equal-length edges, with eight corners where edges meet. Cubes are important in geometry and mathematics because they serve as a fundamental example of a polyhedron and appear frequently in everyday objects, from dice to building blocks.

Een kubus of hexaëder is een regelmatig veelvlak, een zesvlak, waarvan de zijvlakken vierkanten zijn. De kubus is een van de vijf regelmatige veelvlakken, die al in de klassieke oudheid door Plato zijn beschreven. De regelmatige veelvlakken worden daarom ook de platonische lichamen genoemd.
