In geometry, a cube [a] is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets, or sides, with three meeting at each vertex. Viewed from a corner, it is a hexagon and its net is usually depicted as a cross. [1] The cube is the only regular hexahedron and is one of the five Platonic solids.

In arithmetic and algebra, the cube of a number n is its third power, that is, the result of multiplying three instances of n together. The cube of a number or any other mathematical expression is denoted by a superscript 3, for example 23 = 8 or (x + 1)3 . The cube is also the number multiplied by its square : n3 = n × n2 = n × n × n.
