A solid cube of side 12 cm is cut into 8 identicalcubes. What will be the side of the new cube?Also, find the ratio between the surface areaof the original cube and the total surface areaof all the small cubes formed

Answer»

Side of a large cube(a) = 12cmvolume of the cube = (12³)cm³=> 1728 cm³eight small cubes of equal volumes are cut from the larger one∴volume of larger cube = 8* volume of one small cube.=>1728 = 8 * volume of small cube=>1728/8 = volume of small cube∴volume of one small cube = 216.then side of the smaller cube =∛216 = 6cmThe ratio of surface area of larger cube and small cube = 864:216 = 4:1
