    Intro: Hexahedron Platonic Solid

    Strawbees Team

    Get to know the hexahedron, also known as a cube. This shape is 1 of the 5 Platonic solids that have intrigued mathematicians, architects, and philosophers for thousands of years. This three-dimensional shape is formed by 6 squares. Learn to build this basic 3D shape as a building block for many projects and find out about how it's used in real-life examples.
