Faces, Edges, and Vertices

A face is a flat surface.
Two faces meet to make an edge.
Three or more edges meet to make a vertex.

rectangular prism
6 faces 12 edges 8 vertices

cone
1 face 0 edge 1 vertex

A face is a flat surface with straight edges.

A vertex is where three edges meet.
A vertex is also called a corner.
An edge is where two faces meet.

A cube has 6 faces.
