Abstract: We express the volume of a regular cube in hyperbolic $n$ -space as an integral on $[0, \infty)$ , and derive from this an asymptotic volume formula for the regular ideal hyperbolic $n$ -cube. This in turn is applied to finding an asymptotic lower bound for the least number of simplices into which a Euclidean $n$ -cube can be triangulated.
