In geometry, the snub cube, or snub cuboctahedron, is an Archimedean solid with 38 faces: 6 squares and 32 equilateral triangles. It has 60 edges and 24 vertices.
Two chiral copies of the snub cube, as alternated (red or green) vertices of the truncated cuboctahedron. A snub cube can be constructed from a rhombicuboctahedron by rotating the 6 blue square faces until the 12 white square faces become pairs of equilateral triangle faces. In geometry, a snub is an operation applied to a polyhedron.
The icosahedron, snub cube and snub dodecahedron are the only three convex ones. They are obtained by snubification of the truncated octahedron, truncated cuboctahedron and the truncated icosidodecahedron - the three convex truncated quasiregular polyhedra. The only snub polyhedron with the chiral octahedral group of symmetries is the snub cube.
An example is the rhombicuboctahedron, constructed by separating the cube or octahedron's faces from the centroid and filling them with squares. [8] Snub is a construction process of polyhedra by separating the polyhedron faces, twisting their faces in certain angles, and filling them up with equilateral triangles .
Square pyramids are added to the six square faces of the snub cube, and triangular pyramids are added to the eight triangular faces that do not share an edge with a square. The pyramid heights are adjusted to make them coplanar with the other 24 triangular faces of the snub cube. The result is the pentagonal icositetrahedron.
A snub is a half form of a truncation, and a holosnub is both halves of an alternated truncation. Form ... Snub cuboctahedron (Snub cube) Altered and holosnubbed
The current record-holder for a standard 3x3x3 cube is 22-year-old Korean American Max Park, who solved the Rubik’s Cube in 3.13 seconds at a competition in Long Beach, California last year ...
The corner region of a cube can also be truncated by a plane (e.g., spanned by the three neighboring vertices), resulting in a trirectangular tetrahedron. The snub cube is an Archimedean solid that can be constructed by separating away the cube square's face, and filling their gaps with twisted angle equilateral triangles;a process known as ...
