In what way are the vertices not orthogonal? BrianCo 23:51, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
- You got me. Can't a vertex not be orthogonal? I was relatively weak in the 3-dimensional stuff.--Aschlafly 23:55, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
- A vertex may be not-orthogonal but in a cube they are. For some reason Rschlafly removed orthogonal. BrianCo 00:25, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
- A vertex is a point. It cannot be orthogonal. How could a point form a 90-degree angle? Impossible. RSchlafly 11:48, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
- A vertex is not just a point, otherwise you'd just call it a point. Vertex can refer to the angle of the intersection of the rays defining the edges. Therefore, a vertex can indeed be orthogonal. A vertex can also be convex or concave (reflex). QNA 11:59, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
- You are correct on that one QNA. Gerrard 12:03, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
