Scissors consist of two wedges that act as blades and are arranged as two levers. The fulcrum is the point where the two blades pivot, allowing them to move toward each other to cut materials. This design enables the application of force at the handles to be transferred through the blades, effectively increasing cutting efficiency.

Six.

45 degrees, if the wedges are equal.
yes, because a doorstop wedges the door. So it would be a wedge.
No, scissors are not Wedges. They are complex levers, consisting of 2 applied forces, one fulcrum, and 2 loads.

Scissors are a combination of two simple machines: levers and wedges. The two blades act as levers that pivot around a central fulcrum, allowing for a mechanical advantage when cutting. The sharp edges of the blades function as wedges, converging to slice through materials. Together, these simple machines enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the cutting action.
The scissors as a whole would be a lever, but the blades in particular are wedges - an inclined plane if you will.The scissors' blades are sharpened into wedges, and the arms that are squeezed together are levers.

A paper cutter is a second class lever. The resistance is positioned between the effort and the fulcrum. Second class levers always increase the force applied to them, but do not change the direction of the force.

Scissors are considered a compound machine, made up of two levers working together. The handles act as levers, while the blades act as wedges to cut through materials.
Tin snips are similar to scissors - they are a combination of two wedges (the blades) and two levers (each blade and the handle it connects to) joined at a fulcrum (the hinge.)There are many types of simple machines. Tin snips would be a first class lever, as the fulcrum(pivot) is in the middle.
The blades of the scissors are a pair of wedges in a cross shape which pivot
Levers (the two blades) and wedges (the blade edges).
