Positioning of two object faces each with different rotation values t

Positioning of two object faces each with different rotation values t

Not sure I fully understand the question because you can't rotate only a
single face of a cube to a specific angle without distorting the cube's
form.

Anyway, right click the object selector icon (looks like an arrow) to open
the object properties box. Select the object and type in the desired angle
to rotate the entire object. Alternatively, right click the object to
enter point edit mode, then select the face you want to rotate and enter
the desired angle in the object properties dialogue. Only the selected
face will rotate to the angle input.
