What is a unit cube?

A unit cube is a cube with edges of length 1 unit. It has a total of 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices. It is a special case of a cube, which is a three-dimensional shape with six square faces. The volume of a unit cube is 1 cubic unit, and its surface area is 6 square units. The unit cube is used in mathematics and geometry as a standard reference to describe other shapes and calculate their properties. It is also used in physics to model the behavior of particles, atoms, and molecules in three-dimensional space.
