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
Impossible cube ambiguity present in a Necker cube illustration, in which a cube is drawn with its edges as line segments, and can be interpreted as being in either of two different three-dimensional orientations. An impossible cube is usually rendered as a Necker cube in which the line segments representing the edges have been replaced by what are apparently solid beams. In Escher's print, the top four joints of the cube, and the upper of the two crossings between its beams, match one of the two interpretations of the Necker cube, while the bottom four joints and the bottom crossing match the
