Question

Flow many 3 metre cubes can be cut from a cuboid measuring 18 m x 12 m x 9 m?

Answer 1

We are given that edge of each cube = 3 m

Volume of each cube = (edge)³ 

= (3)³ = 27 m³

Volume of the cuboid 

= l x b x h 

= 18 x 12 x 9 m³

Number of cubes 

= \(\frac { Volume of the cuboid }{ Volume of each cube }\)

= (18 x 12 x 9)/27 = 72
