Question

what will happen to the volume of a cube if the length of its edge is reduced to half?is the volume get reduced?if yes,how much?

Answer 1

yes ofcourse volune will reduce....
initially:
edge = L
so,
volume = L³
now,
new edge = L/2
so,
new volume = (L/2)³
= L³/8
but we know L³ is initial volume
so replace L³ by V ( initial volume )
so,
new volume = V/8...........
hope it helps

Answer 2

Let the edge of a cube be x
So,Volume =x^3
Reduced to half =x/2
Volume =x^3/8
It is reduced by 1/8th....
