Hi, I've found the answer :)
>From Mathematica manual: "The polyhedra are by default centered at the
origin with a unit distance from the origin to the midpoint of the
edges." So I need 1/2 = h^2 h = Sqrt[0.5]. The correct way to plot an
Hexahedron (or a Cube) is:
<< Graphics`Polyhedra`
des = Polyhedron[Hexahedron, {0, 0, 0}, Sqrt[0.5] {10, 5, 3}];
Show[des, Axes -> True, AxesLabel -> {"x", "y", "z"}];
Bye.
