a painted cube which is cut into an identical pieces of 729 smaller with minimum number of cuts now how many smaller pieces have no painted face
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
If a cube is divided into 729 identical cubelets,
It will have 9 X 9 cubes in a plane of the cube.
Cubes having exactly one side painted in one face=(n-2) X (n-2) =49
But, we have 6 faces.
Therefore, the total numbers of cubes having only one side painted
=6 X 49=294 Cubelets
I hope it helps
Given : a painted cube which is cut into an identical pieces of 729 smaller with minimum number of cuts
To Find : how many smaller pieces have no painted face
Solution:
if , a , b and c are the cut in each direction then
729 = (a+1) *( b+1) * (c+1)
AM ≥ GM
( a + 1 + b + 1 + c + 1 )/ 3 ≥ ∛(a+1) *( b+1) * (c+1)
( a + 1 + b + 1 + c + 1 )/ 3≥ ∛729
=>( a + 1 + b + 1 + c + 1 )/3 ≥ 9
=> a + b + c ≥ 24
Minimum number of cuts = a + b + c = 24
Hence a = b = c = 8 is the minimum number of cuts
24 cuts
No Painted Face = ( 9 - 2)³
= 7³
= 343
343 smaller pieces have no painted face
Additional Info :
For a cube of side n*n*n painted on all sides which is uniformly cut into smaller cubes of dimension 1*1*1,
Number of cubes with 0 side painted= (n-2)³
Number of cubes with 1 sides painted =6(n - 2)²
Number of cubes with 2 sides painted= 12(n-2)
Number of cubes with 3 sides painted= 8 (always)
