Ok here is the question:
For a charity event, some students assembled one million small plastic cubes to form a massive cube. How many small cube faces could be seen on one face of the finished massive cubes?
I thought it would be cube root of 1 000 000 = 100 squared.
Thats not the answer thats in the book.
please help me!
If you have 1,000,000 cubes and you use them to form a monster cube, then you need that,
That happens when the side got 100 cubes.
Each face of a cube is 100x100 cubes thus they are
10,000 cubes visible on one side. But there are 6 side to a cube thus, 60,000 cubes visible.
So that implies that the wording of the question that we have been givenOriginally Posted by ThePerfectHacker

is either wrong or misleading

Actually, if the problem works like that there are only 50,000 because the bottom face is not visible.If you have 1,000,000 cubes and you use them to form a monster cube, then you need that,

Should we take account of triple counting the 8 corner cubes or doubleIf you have 1,000,000 cubes and you use them to form a monster cube, then you need that,

counting the 12*98 edge cubes?
