Nathan is filling a box with 1-inch cubes. He filled the bottom layer as shown. Nathan wants to completely fill the box. How many cubes will Nathan need in all? A. 18 B. 26 C. 144 D. 180

we are given
number of cubes in bottom is 3*16=18
we can see that

now, we can find total number of cubes
total number of cubes = number of layers*number of cubes in bottom
so, we get
total number of cubes = 8*18
total number of cubes is 144
