The mathematical name of this shape is a <u>right trapezoid </u>
⇒ <em>It is a trapezoid since the image shows a quadrilateral that </em>
<em> has two parallel sides and two non-parallel sides. It is a right </em>
<em> trapezoid because it has two rights angles</em>
<em> </em>The cube has <u>6</u> faces
⇒ <em>faces are the individual flat surfaces of an object</em>
<em> ⇒by looking at a picture of a cube, we see it has 6 sides</em>
<em> ⇒ (I attached an image of a cube below)</em>
