The front left bottom corner (A), 
the rear right bottom corner (B), 
and rear right upper corner (C),
form a right triangle ABC where
length AB = sqrt 2
length BC = 1
length CA = sqrt 3
so the angles are 
BAC = 35.264389
ACB = 54.735610
ABC = 90
so

box {0,1
   rotate 45*y
   rotate 54.73561*z
... etc
