Algebra.Com's Answer #650853 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A cube with surface area of 96 sq cm has a side length of 4 cm (since 4^2 * 6 = 96), and a volume of 64 cm^3.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The given solid cube has a side length of 20 cm (20^2 * 6 = 2400), and a volume of 8000 cm^3.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8000 cm^3 / 64 cm^3 = 125, so 125 cubes can be formed.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Alternatively, you may do 20/4 = 5, then cube the result. \n" ); document.write( " |
