Cube this problem, and in 1837 Pierre Wantzel proved it to be impossible because the cube root of 2 is not a constructible number. The cube has three uniform colorings, named by the colors of the square faces around each vertex: 111, 112, 123. The cube has three classes of symmetry, which can be represented by vertex-transitive coloring the faces. The highest octahedral symmetry O has all the faces the same color. The dihedral symmetry D comes from the cube being a prism, with all four sides being the same color. The lowest symmetry D is also a prismatic symmetry, with
Unit cube unit hypercube of "n" dimensions is formula_1, the square root of "n" and the (Euclidean) length of the vector (1,1,1...1,1) in "n"-dimensional space. Unit cube A unit cube, more formally a cube of side 1, is a cube whose sides are 1 unit long. The volume of a 3-dimensional unit cube is 1 cubic unit, and its total surface area is 6 square units. The term "unit cube" or unit hypercube is also used for hypercubes, or "cubes" in "n"-dimensional spaces, for values of "n" other than 3 and edge length 1. Sometimes the term "unit cube" refers in specific
