Here are three solids. How many faces does the cube have?
How to approach this question
A face is a flat surface on a 3D shape. Count the number of flat surfaces on the cube. Think of a standard dice.
Full Answer
6
A cube is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, with three meeting at each vertex.
You can count them:
1. Top face
2. Bottom face
3. Front face
4. Back face
5. Left face
6. Right face
Total number of faces is 6.
Common mistakes
✗ Confusing faces with edges or vertices.
✗ Only counting the visible faces in the diagram (which is usually 3).
