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 ...
The chamfered cube is constructed as a chamfer of a cube: the squares are reduced in size and new faces, hexagons, are added in place of all the original edges. The cC is a convex polyhedron with 32 vertices, 48 edges, and 18 faces: 6 congruent (and regular) squares, and 12 congruent flattened hexagons.
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.
Augmentation operations retain original edges. They may be applied to any independent subset of faces, or may be converted into a join-form by removing the original edges. Conway notation supports an optional index to these operators: 0 for the join-form, or 3 or higher for how many sides affected faces have.
The dual of a cube is an octahedron.Vertices of one correspond to faces of the other, and edges correspond to each other. In geometry, every polyhedron is associated with a second dual structure, where the vertices of one correspond to the faces of the other, and the edges between pairs of vertices of one correspond to the edges between pairs of faces of the other.

In geometry, a 9-cube is a nine-dimensional hypercube with 512 vertices, 2304 edges, 4608 square faces, 5376 cubic cells, 4032 tesseract 4-faces, 2016 5-cube 5-faces, 672 6-cube 6-faces, 144 7-cube 7-faces, and 18 8-cube 8-faces. It can be named by its Schläfli symbol {4,3 7}, being composed of three 8-cubes around each 7-face.
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.
A rectified cube is a cuboctahedron – edges reduced to vertices, and vertices expanded into new faces A birectified cube is an octahedron – faces are reduced to points and new faces are centered on the original vertices. A rectified cubic honeycomb – edges reduced to vertices, and vertices expanded into new cells.
