Stable Cubes<br />

• Use the bar model of the cube you made in the activity on<br />

page 14.<br />

• Add the minimum number of face diagonals to make the cube<br />

stable.<br />

Another type of diagonal to consider is called the space diagonal.<br />

The space diagonal goes through the inside or space of the cube,<br />

connecting two vertices.<br />

It does not lie on any of the faces. In this drawing, the extra bar connects<br />

a vertex the upper back down to the vertex on the front bottom.<br />
