Question

What will happen to the total surface area of a cube if its edge is reduced to
half? it will become as a cuboid
​

Answer 1

we know that:

volume of cube = a³ 

where, a is the side or length of edge of cube. 

So, here

if the length of edges of cube is halved 

=> side of cube = a / 2

=> volume = (a/2)³ 

= a³ / 2³ 

= a³ / 8 

Hence 

when the edge length is halved then the volume of cube become 1/8 of the volume before.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps

area of the cube if halved

the tsa becomes 1/4
