Question 1

A 3D structure is made of unit cubes. From the front, top, and side views: Front view (looking from front): ⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛ Top view (looking from above): ⬜⬜⬛ ⬜⬜⬛ ⬛⬛⬛ Side view (looking from right): ⬜⬜⬛ ⬜⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛ How many cubes are in the structure (including hidden ones)?
By reconstructing the 3D arrangement from the three orthographic views:
- Each view shows the maximum cubes in that direction
- The intersection of views reveals cube positions
- Total unique cube positions = 7 cubes

Question 3

A standard die (opposite faces sum to 7) is shown from different angles: View 1: Top: 4 Front: 1 Right: 5 Which face is opposite to face 2?

- From the views, we can determine adjacency relationships
- Face 2 appears in multiple views
- Tracking orientations shows it is opposite to 5 (since 2 + 5 = 7)
