A cube is an example of which type of space figure?

Pyramid
Tetrahedron
Rectangular Prism
Hexahedron

The correct answer is: Hexahedron

A cube is classified as a hexahedron. This name derives from the fact that a cube has six flat faces, which are all squares, and this specific feature places it within the broader category of polyhedra known as hexahedra. As a three-dimensional geometric figure, a cube not only has six faces but also has eight vertices and twelve edges, which are key characteristics of its structure. In contrast, options such as pyramids and tetrahedrons denote different types of polyhedra with distinctive features. A pyramid has a base that can be a polygon with triangular faces connecting the base to a single apex, while a tetrahedron is a type of pyramid that specifically has a triangular base and consists of four triangular faces. A rectangular prism, while related, has opposite faces that are rectangles rather than being limited to squares as in the case of a cube.
