Question

If each of the cubes in a Rubik's Cube represented 1 cubic inch, what would be the volume of the Rubik's Cube?

Answer 1

The volume of the Rubik's Cube is 27 in^3

Explanation:

Each face of a Rubik's Cube has 3x3 cubes, then each face has 9 small cubes.

We can think of a Rubik's Cube as 3 pieces, such that each piece has 9 small cubes on it, and the 3 pieces are: Front side, middle part, back part.

Then the total number of small cubes on a Rubik's cube is 9*3 = 27 small cubes.

Now we know that each one of these small cubes has a volume of 1 in^3

Then the volume of 27 of these cubes is 27 times the volume of a single smaller cube, then the volume of the Rubik's Cube is:

V = 27*( 1 in^3) = 27 in^3
