Cube have octahedral symmetry. The cube is a part of a sequence of rhombic polyhedra and tilings with ["n",3] Coxeter group symmetry. The cube can be seen as a rhombic hexahedron where the rhombi are squares. The cube is a square prism: As a trigonal trapezohedron, the cube is related to the hexagonal dihedral symmetry family. It is an element of 9 of 28 convex uniform honeycombs: It is also an element of five four-dimensional uniform polychora: The skeleton of the cube (the vertices and edges) form a graph, with 8 vertices, and 12 edges. It is a special case of
Centered cube number Centered cube number A centered cube number is a centered figurate number that counts the number of points in a three-dimensional pattern formed by a point surrounded by concentric cubical layers of points, with "i" points on the square faces of the "i"-th layer. Equivalently, it is the number of points in a body-centered cubic pattern within a cube that has "n" + 1 points along each of its edges. The first few centered cube numbers are The centered cube number for a pattern with "n" concentric layers around the central point is given by the formula The same number
