Understanding Dice Opposite Faces

This problem involves a standard six-sided dice. We need to determine the number on the face opposite to the face showing '2', given some information about other opposite faces.

Key Properties of a Standard Dice

  • A standard dice has six faces, numbered from 1 to 6.
  • A crucial property is that the sum of the numbers on opposite faces is always constant. For a standard dice, this sum is 7.

Analyzing the Given Information

The question provides the following pairings:

  • Face 1 is opposite to face 6. (Check: \(1 + 6 = 7\))
  • Face 3 is opposite to face 4. (Check: \(3 + 4 = 7\))

These pairings confirm that we are dealing with a standard dice where opposite faces sum to 7.

Calculating the Opposite Face for '2'

We need to find the number on the face opposite to the face showing '2'. Using the property that opposite faces sum to 7:

Let the number opposite to '2' be \(x\).

According to the dice rule: \(2 + x = 7\)

To find \(x\), we rearrange the equation:

\(x = 7 - 2\)

\(x = 5\)

Conclusion

Therefore, the number on the face opposite to the face showing '2' is 5.
