Given -
- A rectangular box is 2 cm high , 4 cm wide and 6 cm deep.
i.e, length = 2cm, breadth = 4cm and height = 6cm
- Mavis packs the box with cubes, each 2cm by 2cm by 2cm,with no space left over.
i.e, side = 2cm
To find -
- the number of cubes that can be fit into the rectangular box.
Concept -
To find the number of cubes Mavis can fit into the rectangular box we are supposed to divide the volume of rectangular box by the volume of the cube. But before doing that we should know the formulas to find the volume of both the 3D shapes. i.e,
Volume of Rectangular Box = l × b × h
Volume cube = a³
where,
- l = length
- b = breadth
- h = height
- a = side
Solution -
[tex]\bf{Number\:of\: cubes=\frac{Volume\:of\: Rectangular\:Box}{Volume\:of\:cube}}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow\sf{Number\:of\: cubes=\frac{l\times b\times h}{a\times a\times a}}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow\sf{Number\:of\: cubes=\frac{2\times 4\times 6}{2\times 2\times 2}}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow\sf{Number\:of\: cubes=\frac{\cancel{2}\times \cancel{4}^2\times \cancel{6}^3}{\cancel{2}\times \cancel{2}\times \cancel{2}}}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow\sf{Number\:of\: cubes=2\times3}[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow\mathbf{Number\:of\: cubes=6\:boxes}[/tex]
Hence, the number of cubes that can be fit into the rectangular box is 6 cubes.
