Square root of 5 one, when traversing the cube "surface" (the shortest distance when traversing through the "inside" of the cube corresponds to the length of the cube diagonal, which is the square root of three times the edge). The number can be algebraically and geometrically related to and , as it is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with catheti measuring and (again, the Pythagorean theorem proves this). Right triangles of such proportions can be found inside a cube: the sides of any triangle defined by the centre point of a cube, one of its vertices, and the middle point
