What is the number of 4 cm cubes which can be cut from the solid cube whose edge is 32 cm?

Edge of the larger cube = 32 cm Volume of the larger cube = (32 cm)3 = 32768 cm3 Edge of the smaller cube = 4 cm Volume of the smaller cube = (4 cm)3 = 64 cm3 Since the smaller cubes are cut from the larger cube, volume of all of them will be equal to that of the larger cube. ∴ Total number of smaller cubes × Volume of the smaller cube = Volume of the larger cube ⇒ Total number of smaller cubes = Volume of the larger cube ÷ Volume of the smaller cube ⇒ Total number of smaller cubes = 32768 ÷ 64 = 512 Thus, 512 smaller cubes can be cut from the larger one.


Is a rubics cube a fractal?

Yes. When broken down, the other tiny cubes resemble the large cube together, thus making it a fractal. Remember that a fractal is any a shape that can be split into parts, and the smaller parts resemble the whole.


How many 1cm cubes fit in a 12cmx12cmx11cm cube?

There would be 1,452 1cm cubes that fit in a 12cmx12cmx11cm cube. This is determined by multiplying the dimensions of the larger cube together (12x12x11) and dividing by the volume of the smaller cubes, which is 1cm^3.


What is the ratio of the volume of the larger cube to the smaller cube?

How do you find the area of cubes together?

If many smaller cubes are combined to form a larger cube, then the surface area of the large cube is: 6 x (length of one side squared)

What are the total volume and surface area of the small cubes?

The volume of a cube is the length of the side, cubed.The area of a cube is 6 times (the length of a side squared).


Does breaking an ice cube change the identity of an ice cube?

Ice cubes are not always true cubes to begin with but we call them that anyway. If you were to break one it would just be smaller pieces of ice which depending on your perception could still be called cubes.
