In a rectangular prism:

  • A face is any of the flat surfaces that make up the boundaries of the prism. There are typically 6 faces on a rectangular prism.
  • An edge is where two faces meet; it is the line segment that connects two vertices. A rectangular prism has 12 edges.
  • A vertex (plural: vertices) is a corner point where edges meet. A rectangular prism has 8 vertices.

Here's the identification:

  • Face: 1
  • Edge: 2
  • Vertex: 3

So, for the respective terms:

  • Face = 1
  • Edge = 2
  • Vertex = 3
