Understanding Cubes: Faces, Edges, and Vertices

In this video, Mr. Jay explains the properties of a cube, focusing on its faces, edges, and vertices. He begins by identifying and counting the six flat surfaces, or faces, of a cube. Next, he counts the twelve edges, which are the line segments formed where two faces meet. Finally, he identifies the eight vertices, which are the points where three or more edges meet. The video concludes with a summary of these properties, reinforcing that a cube has six faces, twelve edges, and eight vertices.
