Edmund makes a cube using eight small cubes. Samuel uses cubes of the same size as the small cubes to make a cuboid twice as long, three times as wide and four times as high as Edmund's cube. How many more cubes does Samuel use than Edmund?

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of small cubes that Edmund used is 8. Let us assume that the volume of each small cube is 1m³. This means that the volume of the cube made is 8m³. Since volume of cube = s³, then s = 3√8 = 2m

Each side of the cube made is 2m

Samuel uses cubes of the same size as the small cubes to make a cuboid twice as long, three times as wide and four times as high as Edmund's cube. It means that the sides of the cuboid are

Length = 2 × 2 = 4m

Width = 3 × 2 = 6m

Height = 4 × 2 = 8m

Volume = length × width × height

Volume = 4 × 6 × 8 = 192 m³

Number of small cubes used is 192/1 {= 192

The number of cubes that Samuel used more that Edmund is 192 - 8 = 184 small cubes

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:

8

step-by-step explanation:

this is a subtraction problem.

10 - 2 = 8
