Why is a cube a prism?

A prism has the same cross section throughout its length no matter what form it may take i.e. a cubic prism, a cuboid prism, a triangular prism, a hexagonal prism, a cylindrical prism etc.


Is a cube a polgon?

First of all, it's polygon, not polgon. Second of all, a cube is not a polygon. A polygon is a two-dimensional shape. A cube is a form of a prism. A prism's suffix is hedron.That means that a cube is a hexahedron, according to the number of sides. Though many people think of a hexagon when they hear that, it is disregarding the 'shape' hexagon. A hexagon has six sides, right? Well, a 3 dimensional cube has six sides as well, therefore it would be a hexahedron. The proper name for any given prism would be polyhedron. Not polygon. Thank you for your question.

What is the shape with 8 vetecies 12 edeges and 6 faces?

The correct spellings are VERTICES and EDGES.The general shape is a hexahedron.
