1) A solid cube of side 6 is first painted pink and then cut into smaller cubes of side 2. How many of the smaller cubes have paint on exactly 2 sides?
\n" ); document.write( "Before cutting the cube is 6^3 cb. units = 216 cu units
\n" ); document.write( "The smaller cubes are 2^3 units or 8 cu units
\n" ); document.write( "Dividing 216 by 8 you get 27 small cubes.
\n" ); document.write( "How many of them have paint on exactly two sides?
\n" ); document.write( "There are four on each edge; so there are 4*6=24 with exactly
\n" ); document.write( "two pink sides.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "2) A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle of radius R cms. What is the perimeter of the regular hexagon?
\n" ); document.write( "Draw the picture of the hexagon.
\n" ); document.write( "Draw the 6 radii--one to each of the six vertices.
\n" ); document.write( "Each of the triangles formed is an equilateral triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "So all sides of each triagle are length 6.
\n" ); document.write( "So the perimeter of the hexagon is 6*6= 36 cm\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3) A 4cm cube is cut into 1cm cubes. What is the percentage increase in the surface area after such cutting?
\n" ); document.write( "The surface area of the original cube is 6*4^2=96 cm sq.
\n" ); document.write( "Each of the 1cm cubes has a surface area of 6*1^2=6 cm sq.
\n" ); document.write( "There are 4^3=64 small cubes
\n" ); document.write( "The total surface area of the small cubes is 64*6=384 cm sq.
\n" ); document.write( "The increase in surface area is 384-96= 288 sq cm.
\n" ); document.write( "The % increase in surface area is 288/96=300%
