A cube has 6 sides (also called faces).

Quick Scoop: How Many Sides Does a Cube Have?

Think of a classic dice (die) from a board game:

  • Top
  • Bottom
  • Front
  • Back
  • Left
  • Right

That makes 6 flat square faces in total.

Extra Geometry Goodies (Super Short)

  • Faces (sides): 6 square faces.
  • Edges (line segments where faces meet): 12.
  • Vertices (corners): 8.

If you can picture a dice with numbers 1 to 6, each number sits on one of the cube’s six sides.

TL;DR: A cube has 6 sides , 12 edges, and 8 corners.
