Question 967137: Antawn the ant is on vertex A of a cube of side length 8. He wants to travel to vertex B of the cube, where AB is a space diagonal, but he can't travel through midair; he has to walk on the faces of the cube. What is the minimal distance Antawn needs to walk to travel to B? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is a well-known puzzle that has a
brain-twisting solution:
Take the cube and unfold it so it lays
flat on a table. Then you draw a straight line from
A to B. Use geometry to measure the line.
Good luck
