The sum of two numbers is 36 There difference is 24 Find the numbers?

This is a good exercise in building and solving a set of equations. Let X and Y be the two numbers. Then you are told their sum is 36, so write; X + Y = 36 Then you are told their difference is 24, so write; X - Y = 24 Now elliminate Y by adding the two equations; 2X = 60 and X = 30 . Now you can find Y by substituting this answer into either of the two original equations to get Y = 6.


How many squares make up a cube?

Some would say 6. I say the answer is 2... A square is infinitely thin, consisting of only two dimensions: length and width. Also, in the 2nd dimension, squares cannot overlap. They cannot exist in the same space. If you could raise one square an infinitely small amount above another and hide the other. Then you can only see one whole square at a time, turning the object over once, you see the other one. Measuring the depth of this object, it is clearly twice as deep as an infinitely thin square. This actual depth of two infinitesimally small sheets is unfathomable compared to any other arbitrary depth you choose to consider. Look at the square again, from above; recall the measurement of your depth. Now, cut the side lengths of both squares down until they match the depth. This creates a solid 3 dimensional cube, of some 3 near-infinitely small dimensions. (QED) What you have are these infinitely thin squares stacked to create a cube. There is no space intended between the squares. The number of squares, in a larger cube, is directly proportional to the depth of that cube. You can only discuss each cube in relation to another cube, not to the infinitely small cubes. In other words you do not know how many sheets are used to make a 4x4x4 inch cube... per se, but you do know it is twice as many as it takes to create a 2x2x2 inch cube. The same logic could be applied to the square itself, which is created by lines, which are themselves created by singularities (points) which each utterly fill their 0th dimension. So when we measure anything, it is only relative to some arbitrary size we have chosen to call a 1, and not infinity. A volume is a factor, which we multiply. This can be more than 1, a larger volume, or less than one, a smaller volume, but always greater than 0. In the case of a 4x4x4 inch cube, you need 16 as many lines, and 64 as many singularities (points), as you need to make the 1x1x1 inch cube. You can extend this to other shapes, and wind up in a 5th grade geometry class. Haven't you always been told you can create a ray from one point, or a line segment from two points, and so on. Have you ever really considered what length is the line segment you are creating, what length is the ray?

How do you find the length of a edge of a cube?

-- If you don't know anything about the cube, then you just have to measure it. -- If you're told something about the cube, like for example its volume, or the area of a face, or the total area of all its faces, then you can use the formulas you know that express the relationship between the volume or area of a cube and the length of its edges.

How do you find the side length when you know the volume?

You need to provide more information. For example, If you were told you had a cube with a volume of 1 cubic ft then you know each side is 1 ft because a cube defines equal sides. If the volume was in a rectangular shape there would be many answers.

How do you find the number of neutrons in an atom if that number is not told to you?

To find the number of neutrons in an atom, subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass number (rounded to the nearest whole number). The atomic mass is generally provided in the periodic table or can be calculated as the sum of protons and neutrons.
