A cube has 12 edges.
Explanation:
- A cube has 6 faces.
- Each face is a square with 4 edges.
- However, each edge is shared by 2 faces.
- So, total edges = (6 faces × 4 edges per face) ÷ 2 = 12 edges.
If you want to visualize it, think of a cube as having:
- 4 edges along the top square,
- 4 edges along the bottom square,
- and 4 vertical edges connecting the top and bottom squares.
Total: 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 edges.
