  2. Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube

    As mentioned above, the cube has eight vertices, twelve edges, and six faces; each element in a matrix's diagonal is denoted as 8, 12, and 6. The first column of the middle row indicates that there are two vertices in (i.e., at the extremes of) each edge, denoted as 2; the middle column of the first row indicates that three edges meet at each ...

  3. Face (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_(geometry)

    where V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges, and F is the number of faces. This equation is known as Euler's polyhedron formula. Thus the number of faces is 2 more than the excess of the number of edges over the number of vertices. For example, a cube has 12 edges and 8 vertices, and hence 6 faces.

  4. List of uniform polyhedra by vertex figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_uniform_polyhedra...

    The relations can be made apparent by examining the vertex figures obtained by listing the faces adjacent to each vertex (remember that for uniform polyhedra all vertices are the same, that is vertex-transitive). For example, the cube has vertex figure 4.4.4, which is to say, three adjacent square faces. The possible faces are 3 - equilateral ...

  5. Archimedean solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_solid

    An example is the rhombicuboctahedron, constructed by separating the cube or octahedron's faces from the centroid and filling them with squares. [8] Snub is a construction process of polyhedra by separating the polyhedron faces, twisting their faces in certain angles, and filling them up with equilateral triangles .

  6. Edge (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_(geometry)

    where V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges, and F is the number of faces. This equation is known as Euler's polyhedron formula. Thus the number of edges is 2 less than the sum of the numbers of vertices and faces. For example, a cube has 8 vertices and 6 faces, and hence 12 edges.

  7. Euler characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_characteristic

    Vertex, edge and face of a cube. The Euler characteristic χ was classically defined for the surfaces of polyhedra, according to the formula = + where V, E, and F are respectively the numbers of vertices (corners), edges and faces in the given polyhedron.

  8. List of Johnson solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Johnson_solids

    None of its faces are coplanar—they do not share the same plane and do not "lie flat". None of its edges are colinear—they are not segments of the same line. A convex polyhedron whose faces are regular polygons is known as a Johnson solid, or sometimes as a Johnson–Zalgaller solid. Some authors exclude uniform polyhedra from the definition.

  9. Dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecahedron

    The eight vertices of a cube have the coordinates (±1, ±1, ±1). The coordinates of the 12 additional vertices are (0, ±(1 + h), ±(1 − h 2)), (±(1 + h), ±(1 − h 2), 0) and (±(1 − h 2), 0, ±(1 + h)). h is the height of the wedge-shaped "roof" above the faces of that cube with edge length 2.
