Subtopic: Opposite face in unfolded cube net
Question Statement:
The accompanying diagram shows the unfolded net of a six-faced cube with faces numbered 1 to 6. When this net is folded into a 3D cube, which face will be strictly OPPOSITE to Face 2?
Options:
(A) Face 4
(B) Face 3
(C) Face 5
(D) Face 6
Answer Key:
A
Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
In a standard 1-4-1 linear row (Faces 1-2-3-4), alternating faces are opposite: Face 1 is opposite to Face 3, and Face 2 is opposite to Face 4. Face 5 (top) and Face 6 (bottom) fold to form opposite top and bottom faces.
