Question

Mrs.Smith stacked 6 cubes on top of one another to make a tower. If the tower is sitting on the floor, how manyof the cubes faces can Mrs.Smith see?

Answer 1

Answer: 25 faces

Explanation:

Given

6 cubes are stacked over each other

Mr. Smith wants to count the number of faces

The faces which are in contact with each other are not visible to Mr. smith i.e. there will be 5 cubes with only 4 faces available and only one cube with 5 faces available, that is placed on the top.

No of visible faces

`\Rightarrow 4* 6+1\quad \quad [\text{6 cubes with 4 faces visible+face of top cube}]\\\Rightarrow 25\ \text{faces}`
