Cubes
Aim: To investigate the hidden faces and the number of faces seen on a cube or a cuboids when it's placed on a table.
Introduction: My task is to find out the hidden faces and the number of faces seen on a cube or cuboids.
When a cube is placed on a table
only 5 of the faces can be seen.
So 1 face is hidden.
Here are the tables and results we did to find out the over all formula:
)
Number of cubes (x)
Hidden faces
Number of faces seen
Total faces

x= number of cubes
3x+2= Number of faces seen
These are the 3 faces seen
they are same for each cube
in the row, that's why I
multiplied it by 3.
The 2 sides at the end needed to be added
