Question

Myra is using unit cubes to pack a solid without gaps or overlaps. It takes 24 unit cubes in all. What is the solid’s volume?

Answer 1

24 cubic units

Explanation:

Given: 24 unit cubes are used to pack a solid without gaps or overlaps

To find: Volume of the solid

Solution:

A cube is a box-shaped solid object which has 12 edges, 8 vertices and 6 faces.

Side of unit cube = 1 unit

Volume of one cube =
`(side)^3=1^3=1\,\,cubic\,\,units`

Volume of solid = Volume of 24 unit cubes = 24(1) = 24 cubic units
