Worked practice questions

The six squares that bound a cube are called its what?

  1. Faces
  2. Vertices
  3. Edges
  4. Bases
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Faces

1. A cube is bounded by flat square surfaces. 2. A flat surface of a solid is called a face. 3. A cube has 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices. _Source: Wikipedia, Cube (CC BY-SA 4.0), Cube_

A cube has 12 of which parts?

  1. Vertices
  2. Bases
  3. Edges
  4. Faces
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Edges

1. Edges are the line segments where two faces meet. 2. A cube has 6 faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges. 3. So the 12 is the edge count. _Source: Wikipedia, Cube (CC BY-SA 4.0), Cube_

Count the corners of a cube.

  1. 8
  2. 12
  3. 4
  4. 6
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 8

1. A corner is a vertex. 2. A cube has 4 corners on the top face and 4 on the bottom face. 3. So 4 + 4 = 8. Twelve is the edge count and 6 is the face count. _Source: Wikipedia, Cube (CC BY-SA 4.0), Cube_
