A cube is a type of prism. Notice that the two bases of the cube are squares. One is on the top and the other is on the bottom. Prisms are classified and named by the number of sides and flat planes in the solid figure.
A cube is a three-dimensional figure having six matching square sides. If L is the length of one of its sides, the volume of the cube is L3 = L × L × L. A cube has six square-shaped sides. The surface area of a cube is six times the area of one of these sides.
