The Mysterious Cube & It'd Edges

<p>It's 24. Anyway this thread can be locked?</p>

<p>I can't believe I put 12. The wording was crap on that question...</p>

<p>Hold on now....say you have a cube with parallel faces ABCD and EFGH, where you have the edges AB, BC, CD, DA, EF, FG, GH, HE, AE, BF, CG, DH, would you consider the angle between AB and BC the same as the angle between EF and FG?</p>

<p>I understand why it would be 24, but then again, this would also make sense, depending on the wording of the question (I didn't actually take the test....)</p>

<p>towerpumpkin, that was my original reasoning for answer to be 12. But then someone confirmed that the question had indeed asked for the angles formed by the edges, which are line segments. Those two angles, although formed by the same two faces, are obviously formed by different edges, therefore they count as two angles.</p>

<p>24 right angles guys. close this thread.</p>

<p>So what's is now the right answe people 12 or 24?</p>

<p>It is 24. It could not be 12 becuase if you use that kind of reasoning, than the answer would be infinty because there would be infinity right angles formed by the sides of the squares connecting with each other. And none of the answer choices had infinity.</p>

<p>this question was fairly easy guys, it was in the beginning/middle of the section and it wasn't suppose to be some trick, there were 24 angles, 4 angles on each side of a sqaure, 6 sides because its a cube, 6 x 4 = 24, or you can think of it has 8 corners, each corner has 3 right angles, so its 24.</p>
