Solved Example on Edge

Ques: How many edges does a cube have? 

Choices:

A. 14 
B. 12
C. 10
D. 6
Corrected Answer: B

Solution:

Step 1: A cube has two square bases and four square faces joining the two bases.
Step 2: So, the number of edges of a cube = number of edges of the two bases + number of edges joining the bases.
Step 3: = (2 × 4) + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12
Step 4: So, a cube has 12 congruent edges.
