Question

A solid shape is made from centimetre cubes. Here are the plan, front elevation and side elevation of the shape. How many cubes are added? (see below)

Answer 1

Explanation:

To make this Cuboid you need to workout how many cubes are missing from this cuboid.

To get the cubes numbers you have to get the volume of this cuboid which is 3x4x3=36

So there is 36 cubes in this cuboid.

And then workout how many cubes are missing from this plan, front and side elevation.

Front Elevation 3x3=9

Side Elevation 4x3=12 then deduct 3 blocks from the left. Then deduct 4 blocks from right top corner which is 4 blocks.

3+4=7 missing blocks, then do this 12-7=5 Side has 5 added blocks fron the front.

Front 9 blocks Side 5 blocks. 9+5=14

So 36-14=22 ANSWER is 22 BLOCKS has been added.
