How many faces, edges, and vertices are on a cube?
Vertices, Edges and Faces
A vertex (plural: vertices) is a point where two or more straight lines meet.
A vertex is a corner.
An edge is a line segment that joins two vertices. An edge joins one vertex with another.
A face is any of the individual surfaces of a solid object. A face is an individual surface.
A cube has 6 Faces, 8 Vertices, and 12 Edges

This question might have been made a tiny bit more difficult had all the answer options indicated 6 faces (4 sides, a top, and a bottom), the easiest part to figure. One only has to know that much to choose the right answer. All the other choices were wrong!
Gery Tillmanns
6 faces was the only answer.

johnespo,
Please give it a break. When you pay the same compliment to EVERY submission, are you really complimenting ANYTHING?

I got it ... that's probably not a big deal to most of you, but maths/geometry is not my strong suit ... ha ha

Ok, first get a calculator. Now take it out of the box. Count the sides (faces) of the box. There's your answer.

Tom Seigo, this sounds like how a child looks when I do a magic trick.

Char, the faces of dice (cubes) are numbered for your convenience.

Ok I get it but will I keep it? I understand the faces but what the rest matters unless you into geometry...which I do like even though it's math
Char
George Oliver Prince, either I forgot it or the Catholic school I went to in grade school didn't cover it.. I have never been asked this before
Char
Rob Farr, mine either I'm great at the rest but not 4.0 in math almost bit it didn't cover this lol
Char
Leapy Lee, in the 50's I never saw this and they didn't coveriy in college math in 2008-2010..
Char
Marcella Kosse, I had nothing to go on
Char
Fred Mayes, is that you and I think your wrong..
Char
Jennifer Dyster, funny never heard of it in my school days
Char
I'm not into math...so of course I missed it as it's not common knowledge
Gail Nemetz
William Laughlin, And that’s how I got it.
