FIND THE VOLUME AND THE TOTAL AREA OF THE LARGEST CUBE OF WOOD THAT CAN BE CUT FROM A LOG OF CIRCULAR CROSS SECTION WHOSE RADIUS IS 12.7 INCHES?
-------------
The cube's diagonal (on a face) is the diameter of the log, = 25.4 inches
----------
The cube's edges = diag*sqrt(2)/2 =~ 17.96 inches
-----
Vol = s^3 = 5793.7 cubic inches
Area = 6s^2 = 1935.5 sq inches
(assuming the log is >= 18 inches long)
