This GeoGebra example demonstrates a transformation from a cube to a truncated cube and a related cubo polyhedron. It involves solid geometry, polyhedra, vertices, edges, faces, truncation, vector translation, and coordinate-based construction. The construction uses Point to define vertices such as A, B, D, E, F, G, and H, Vector and Translate to generate transformed objects like A′, B′, D′, and F′, and Polygon, PolyLine, and Segment to draw edges and faces. Lists such as list1 and list2 help organize vertex sequences, while poly1 and poly2 represent constructed polygonal structures. It is suitable for secondary or undergraduate geometry teaching, spatial visualization, and GeoGebra 3D modeling examples.
