The inscribed square has side length:
+s+=+%28+1%2Fsqrt%282%29+%29%2A30+
+s+=+21.2132+ cm
.3937 in = 1 cm
+21.2132%2A%28+.3937%2F1+%29+=+8.3516+ in
-------------------
How many of these cubes, +s%5E3+ can be
cut out of +8.5+ in log log?
----------------------------
Exactly 1 cube can be cut from log
