Cube

From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change

A cube is a block with all right angles and whose height, width and depth are all the same.

A cube is one of the simplest mathematical shapes in space. Something that is shaped like a cube is sometimes referred to as cubic.

[change] Relative 2-dimensional shape

The 2-dimensional shape (like a circle, square, triangle, etc) that a cube is made of is squares. The sides (faces) of a cube are squares. The edges are straight lines. The corners (vertices) are at right angles. A cube has 8 corners, 12 edges and 6 sides.

[change] Volume

• The volume of a cube is the length of any one of the edges (they are all the same length so it does not matter which edge is used) cubed.
• This means you multiply the number by itself, and then by itself again.
• If the edge is named 'd' (See Diagram), the equation would be this: Volume=d×d×d (or Volume=d³).
