Algebra.Com's Answer #502391 by LinnW(1048)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Notice that 2.1m = 210cm. 6 x 35cm = 210 cm \n" ); document.write( "So each edge of the large cube is 6 * ( smaller cube edge size ) \n" ); document.write( "Let's describe a new unit sc = 35cm \n" ); document.write( "The length of the side of the large cube is 6 sc's \n" ); document.write( "Its volume is 6 * 6 * 6 sc^3 = 216 sc's \n" ); document.write( "216 is the number of smaller cubes that can be obtained. \n" ); document.write( "( assuming there is no waste as a result of cutting ) \n" ); document.write( " |
