a 4 cm cube is cut into 1 cm cubes. calculate the total surface area of all the small cubes.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- 4 cm cube is cut into 1 cm cubes
- The total surface area of all the cubes
⇝ First we have to find the number of small cubes formed.
⇝ For that we have to find the volume of both the cubes.
⇝ Volume of a cube is given by,
Volume of a cube = a³
where a is a side of the cube.
⇝ Hence,
Volume of bigger cube = 4³
Volume of bigger cube = 64 cm³
⇝ Volume of smaller cube = 1³ = 1 cm³
⇝ Now,
Number of cubes = Volume of bigger cube/Volume of smaller cube
Number of cubes = 64/1
Number of cubes = 64
⇝ Now we have to find the total surface area of one cube.
⇝ Total surface area of a cube is given by,
TSA of cube = 6a²
⇝ Substitute the data,
TSA of a cube = 6 × 1²
TSA of the cube = 6 cm²
⇝ Now the TSA of 64 cubes is given by
TSA of 64 cubes = 6 × 64
TSA of 64 cubes = 384 cm²
Volume of 4 cm^3 = (4)^3cm^3 = 64cm^3
Volume of 1 cm^3 = (1)^3cm^3 = 1 cm^3
Total no. of 1 cm cubes = Volume of 4 cm^3 / Volume of 1 cm^3
=> 64/1
=> 64
Surface Area of 1 cube = 6(side)^2 cm^2
Surface Area of 1 cube = 6(1)^2 cm^2
Surface Area of 1 cube = 6 cm^2
TSA of all small cubes = 64 × 6 cm^2
=> 384 cm^2
