A cube is a special case of a prism where the base is a square.
Equations
- Variables:
l ⇒ length of edges of the cube
- The hypervolumes of a cube are given by:
total edge length = 12l
surface area = 6l2
volume = l3
- The planar cross-sections (n) of a cube are:
[!x,!y,!z] ⇒ square with side length l
Segmentation
The cube of side 2 may be segmented into:
- 6× square pyramid with base side 2 and height 1
- 12× irregular tetrahedron with sides 3×32-1, 2×2, 22-1
Use
Cubic cells are found in these tetrashapes on FGwiki:
- Tesseract (8×, 100%)
- Cubinder (1×, 20%)
- Cubic pyramid (1×, 14%)
