Two different positions of the same dice are given below. Find the number opposite of 2.
To find the number opposite to 2 on a standard die, we analyze the two different positions shown.
From the images provided:
- In the first position, the visible numbers are 1, 2, and 3.
- In the second position, the visible numbers are 6, 5, and 1.
Since each face of a die with a number must be opposite to a face of another unshared number, we look at the transitions:
- Number 1 is common in both positions. Hence, it cannot be opposite to any visible number in these positions.
- In the first position, the number 2 is adjacent to the numbers 1 and 3.
- In the second position, the number 5 is adjacent to the numbers 6 and 1.
This implies:
- The number 2 cannot be opposite 1 or 3 (already sharing sides in the first position).
- In combination with the second position, the number opposite 2 must hence be 6 (as 5 and 1 are adjacent).
Therefore, the number opposite to 2 is 6.
