A cube is a three-dimensional solid object in geometry. It has eight vertices and twelve straight edges of the same length, so that these edges form six square faces of the same size. It is an example of a polyhedron. It is a special case of a cuboid, a parallelepiped, and a rhombohedron in which all six quadrilateral faces are squares. It is a three-dimensional hypercube, a family of polytopes that also includes the two-dimensional square and four-dimensional tesseract.
