If the statement that it contains 24 cubes requires that the sides are integer, then the minimum suface area is for a 2*3*4 cube, with a surface are of 2*(2*3 + 3*4 + 4*2) = 2*(6+12+8) = 2*26 = 52 square units.
If, however, you are not restricted to integer solutions, the minimum surface area is achieved when the sides are of length 24(1/3). Then the surface area is 6*24(2/3) = 49.922 square units.

What is a sorting rule that would select cubes rectangular prisms triangular prisms and a cylinder?
A sorting rule that includes cubes, rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, and a cylinder could be based on the 3D shapes' dimensional characteristics. Specifically, the rule could state that the shapes must have at least one curved surface or at least one flat surface, distinguishing them from purely flat shapes like squares or rectangles. This categorization allows for a variety of solid geometrical figures, combining both polyhedra and a curved shape.
How many rectangular prisms can be formed by using exactly 36 cubes?
To determine the number of rectangular prisms that can be formed using exactly 36 cubes, we need to find all the possible combinations of dimensions that can multiply to give 36. The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36. Each factor corresponds to a unique rectangular prism. Therefore, there are 9 different rectangular prisms that can be formed using exactly 36 cubes.
What is the only solid with not even one vertex?
A sphere. All other solids, including cubes, rectangular prisms, and cones all have at least one vertex.
How are alike rectangular pyramids and rectangular prisms?
They both have at least one rectangular face.
What is the volume of a rectangular prism if the surface area is 34?
To find the volume of a rectangular prism when given the surface area, we need more information than just the surface area. The surface area of a rectangular prism is calculated using the formula 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l, w, and h are the length, width, and height of the prism, respectively. Without knowing at least one of these dimensions, we cannot determine the volume of the prism.
What fraction of the total surface area of these new cube is blue when a solid wooden cube is painted blue on the outside The cube is then cut into 27 smaller cubes of equal size?
When a solid wooden cube is painted blue and then cut into 27 smaller cubes, the original cube's surface area is divided among the smaller cubes. Since each side of the larger cube is painted, the outer layer of the smaller cubes will be blue. Out of the 27 smaller cubes, only the 8 cubes in the center do not have any blue paint, while the remaining 19 have at least one face painted blue. Therefore, the fraction of the total surface area that is blue is ( \frac{19}{27} ).
