As used in geometry, a hypercube is an extrapolation of the cube or square to n dimensions. For example, a 4th dimensional hypercube is called a tesseract. Therefore, an n-dimensional hypercube is also known as an n-cube. It is best drawn and represented in non-Euclidean geometry.

Tesseract
A tesseract is the 4th dimensional hypercube. It is made by combining two cubes.
The net of a tesseract is composed of 8 cubes. It has the Schlaefli symbol 
. Its vertices are
