Cube vs. Hexahedron

(geometry) A regular polyhedron having six identical square faces.

Any object more or less in the form of a cube.

Example: ‘a sugar cube’; ‘a stock cube’;

(mathematics) The third power of a number, value, term or expression.

Example: ‘the cube of 2 is 8’;

(computing) A data structure consisting of a three-dimensional array; a data cube

A cubicle, especially one of those found in offices.

Example: ‘My co-worker annoys me by throwing things over the walls of my cube.’;

To raise to the third power; to determine the result of multiplying by itself twice.

Example: ‘Three cubed can be written as 33, and equals twenty-seven.’;

(transitive) To form into the shape of a cube.

(transitive) To cut into cubes.

Example: ‘Cube the ham right after adding the curry to the rice.’;

(UK) to use a Rubik's cube.

Example: ‘He likes to cube now and then.’;

A regular solid body, with six equal square sides.

The product obtained by taking a number or quantity three times as a factor; as, 4x4=16, and 16x4=64, the cube of 4.

To raise to the third power; to obtain the cube of.

a three-dimensional shape with six square or rectangular sides

a hexahedron with six equal squares as faces

the product of three equal terms

any of several tropical American woody plants of the genus Lonchocarpus whose roots are used locally as a fish poison and commercially as a source of rotenone

a block in the (approximate) shape of a cube

raise to the third power

cut into cubes;

Example: ‘cube the cheese’;

In geometry, a cube is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex. The cube is the only regular hexahedron and is one of the five Platonic solids.

(geometry) A polyhedron with six faces. The regular hexahedron is the cube, and is one of the Platonic solids.

A solid body of six sides or faces.

any polyhedron having six plane faces

A hexahedron (plural: hexahedra) is any polyhedron with six faces. A cube, for example, is a regular hexahedron with all its faces square, and three squares around each vertex.
