Build a geometry with a small cube so that it can be seen from the front and from the top as shown in the figure. Is there only one geometry like this? How many cubes does it need at most? How many cubes does it need at least? Please draw the figure from the left in both cases

Build a geometry with a small cube so that it can be seen from the front and from the top as shown in the figure. Is there only one geometry like this? How many cubes does it need at most? How many cubes does it need at least? Please draw the figure from the left in both cases

There is not only one kind of geometry, it needs at most 2 × 5 = 10 small cubes, it needs at least 2 × 3 + 2 = 8 small cubes. When the small cubes are most, the left view has 2 columns, which are 2 and 2 squares from left to right; when the small cubes are least, there are 2 cases: ① there are 2 columns, which are 1 and 2 squares from left to right; ② there are 2 columns, which are 2 and 2 squares from left to right Square; as shown in the figure:
