Written by Jerry Ratzlaff on . Posted in Solid Geometry

• Cube (a three-dimensional figure) is a regular polyhedron with square faces.
• All edges are the same length.
• All faces are squares
• Diagonal is a line from one vertices to another that is non adjacent.
• Circumscribed sphere is a polyhedron is a sphere that contains the polyhedron and touches each of the ployhedron's vertices.
• Inscribed sphere - A convex polyhedron is a sphere that is contained within the polyhedron and tangent to each of the polyhedron's faces.
• Midsphere is a polyhedron is a sphere that is tangent to every edge of the polyhedron.
• 4 base diagonals
• 24 face diagonals
• 4 space diagonals
• 12 edges
• 6 faces
• 8 vertex
