Cube Edge Count: Investigating the Claim of 14 Edges

To solve this problem, we'll analyze the basic properties of a cube as follows:

• Step 1: Recall that a cube has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices.
• Step 2: Crucially, each face of a cube is a square, and a cube has exactly three edges meeting at each vertex.
• Step 3: Count the edges: A cube's geometry dictates that it has 12 edges since each cube has 4 edges per face, shared equally among its 6 square faces.

Now, let's perform a check by thinking through the geometry:

A cube consists of $6$ faces and each face shares its edges with adjacent faces. The twelve unique edges appear as $6 \times 4 \div 2$ edges (since each edge is counted twice, once on each adjoining face).

Thus, it is evident that a cube has exactly 12 edges, not 14.

Therefore, the statement that a cube has 14 edges is False.
