A cube has 12 edges.
Understanding Edges
An edge is a line segment where two faces of a three-dimensional object meet. Imagine a cube as a box. The edges are the lines that form the outline of each side of the box.
Visualizing Edges
Here's how you can visualize the edges of a cube:
- Top Face: 4 edges
- Bottom Face: 4 edges
- Connecting the Top and Bottom: 4 edges
Adding these up, you get a total of 12 edges.
Practical Examples
- A Rubik's Cube: Each face of a Rubik's Cube has 4 edges, and there are 6 faces, making a total of 24 edges.
- A Dice: A standard dice is a cube, with 12 edges.
