Susan made a block with small cubes of 8 cubic cm volume
to make a block ,3 small cubes long, 9 small cubes wide and
5 small cubes deep. She realizes that she has used more
small cubes than she really needed. She realized that she
could have glued a fewer number of cubes together to lock
like a block with same dimensions, if it were made hollow.
What is the minimum number of cubes that she needs to make
the block?

Answer / anil prakash

dimensions of cube =2*2*2cm^3

length = 3 small cubes long = 6cm

breadth = 9 small cubes long = 18cm

depth = 5 small cubes long = 10cm

volume = 6*18*10 = 1080cm^3
volume of hallow cube = (6-4)(18-4)(10-4) = 168cm^3

hence no.of cubes required = 1080-168/8 = 114

Answer / kld

1st case when inner hollow part is of 1cube
(9*3*5)-(9-1)*(3-1)*(5-1)=71
2nd case when inner hollow part is of 2 cube
(9*3*5)-(9-2)*(3-2)*(5-2)=141

3rd case 3 cube never be happens thus ans may be a and d both.
