A cube 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. The cube is found in many popular cultures, including toys and games, the arts, optical illusions, and architectural buildings.
The cube, illustrated above together with a wireframe version and a net that can be used for its construction, is the Platonic solid composed of six square faces that meet each other at right angles and has eight vertices and 12 edges.
