Answer 1

can't you find a box and count them?
But I am suspicious of the 13 edges.

Answer 2

SAME HERE! the 13 edges is what confused me

Answer 3

you can google how many edges it should have...

Answer 4

12 edges

Answer 5

Faces + Vertices= Edges.

Answer 6

Faces + Vertices= Edges+2

Answer 7

so, it would be 6+8=14+2. from that point i am confused. is it 14 edges?

Answer 8

or 16 edges?

Answer 9

There are 6 faces: top and bottom and 4 sides. Look at a box.
there are 8 vertices (corners): 4 at the top and 4 at the bottom = 8
there are 12 edges: 4 at the top, 4 at the bottom, and 4 for the sides
6+8= 12+2

Answer 10
