\n" ); document.write( "If all the millimeter cubes in one cubic meter are placed one on top of another to make a pole, what will be the height of the pole?
\n" ); document.write( "1,000 millimeters in a meter
\n" ); document.write( "one cubic meter is 1meter by 1meter by 1 meter
\n" ); document.write( "Number of cubic millimeters is (1000*1000*1000)mm
\n" ); document.write( "That is the height of the pole.
