The Cube has many interesting mathematical properties and are known to people since ancient times. Representatives of some of the Greek schools believed that elementary particles (atoms) that make up our world, have the shape of a cube, and mystics and esoterics even idolize this figure. Today the representatives of pseudoscience Cuba is credited with amazing energy properties.

The Cube is the ideal figure, one of the five Platonic solids. platonovo body is the surface area of the cubeCorrect multi-faceted shape that meets three requirements:

1. All its edges and faces are equal.

2. The angles between the faces are equal (the angles between the cube faces are equal and are 90 degrees).

3. All the vertices of the figure touch the surface described around her sphere.

The Exact number of these figures have called the ancient Greek mathematician teeter Athens, and Plato's student Euclid in the 13th book of beginnings gave them a detailed mathematical description.

The Ancient Greeks, tend to use quantitative variables to describe the structure of our world, gave the Platonic bodies deep sense of the sacred. They believed that the figures represent the beginning of universe: the tetrahedron - fire, cube - earth, octahedron - air, icosahedron - water dodecahedron - ether. The sphere described around them, symbolized the perfection, divine origin.

So, the cube is also called a hexahedron (from the Greek "hex" - 6), is a three - dimensional regular geometric figure. It is also called a right rectangular prism, or rectangular parallelepiped.the surface area of a cube

The cube has six faces, twelve edges and eight vertices. In this figure it is possible to inscribe other regular polyhedrons: the tetrahedron (a tetrahedron with faces in the form of triangles), octahedron (octahedron), and icosahedron (an icosahedron).

The Diagonal of a cube is the line segment joining two symmetrical relative to the center vertex. Knowing the edge length of the cube a, it is possible to find the length of the diagonal of v: v = a3.

In the cube, as mentioned above, it is possible to enter the sphere, the radius of the inscribed sphere (denoted r) will be equal to half the length of the fin: r =(1/2).

If the sphere be described around the cube, then the radius of the sphere described (let's call it R) will be equal to: R= ( 3/2)a.

A Fairly common task in school question: how to calculate the area lateral surface area of a cubeThe surface of the cube? Very simple, just visualize a cube. the Surface of a cube consists of six faces in the form of squares. Therefore, in order to find the surface area of the cube, you first need to find the area of one of the faces and multiply by the number of them: SP= 6A2.

Similar to how we found the surface area of the cube, calculate the area of its lateral faces: SB=4A2.

From this formula it is clear that two opposite faces of a cube is the base, and the other four side surfaces.

To Find the surface area of the cube can be another way. Given the fact that the cube is the rectangular parallelepiped, it is possible to use the concept of three spatial dimensions. This means that a cube, being a three-dimensional figure has 3 parameters: length (a) width(b) height (c).

Using these parameters, we calculate the surface area of a cube: SP= 2(ab+AC+bc).

To calculate the lateral surface area of a cube, the perimeter of the base times the height: SB= 2c(a+b).

The Volume of a cube is the product of three components - the height, length and width:
V= abc  or three adjacent edges: V=a3.
