It is a solid shape with six faces. There are seven topologically distinct convex shapes and three concave ones. The faces can be triangles, quadrilaterals or pentagonal and the number of edges can range from 9 to 12. The number of vertices is 4 fewer than the number of edges.

What are the different cube shapes names?
There is only one cube shape and it is called a cube or a regular hexahedron.
Is a hexagon a prism?
No - shapes ending with the prefix -gon are polygons, not prisms. A generic name for a six-faced polyhedron is a hexahedron.
Is it true A hexahedron is a prism whose base is a square?
A hexahedron is a 3D shape with 6 faces. It CAN be a prism whose base is a square. But that is only one example. It can also be a prism whose base is any quadrilateral. It can also be something like a pentagonal pyramid (i.e. the base is a pentagon and the sides are made up of 5 triangles.)
What type of faces does a hexahedron have?
A regular hexahedron (a.k.a.: a "cube") has six squarefaces.However "hexahedron" simply means "six faces", so a non-regular hexahedron could have faces of other shapes. For example:A triangular dipyramid has six triangular faces.A parallelepiped has six parallelogram faces.A triangular trapezohedron has six kite-shaped faces.A pentagonal pyramid has a pentagonal base, and five triangular sides.
How do you find the volume of a hexadron?
There is no such shape as a hexadron. If you meant a hexahedron, it is a 3-dimensional shape bounded by six polygonal faces. There are several different forms for a hexahedron including:a pentagon based pyramida quadrilateral based bipyramida parallelepiped, rhombohedron, cuboid, cube and the rest of the shapes formed by 6 quadrilaterals.The volume formula depends on the shape.There is no such shape as a hexadron.
