Options

• 1 : 2

• 3 : 2

• 4 : 1

• 1 : 3

Answer 1

The ratio of the number of sides of a square to the number of edges of a cube is 1 : 3.

Explanation:

Number of sides in a square = 4

Number of edges in a cube = 12

Ratio of the number of sides of a square to number of edges = `4/12`

= `1/3`  ...[On dividing numerator and denominator by 4]

= 1 : 3
