There is an ample supply of identical blocks (as shown). Each block is constructed from four 1 × 1 × 1 unit-cubes glued whole-face to whole-face. What is the greatest number of such blocks that can be packed into a box that is 6 units tall, 7 units wide, and 8 units deep without exceeding the height of the box?

Answer its 336

Step-by-step explanation:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 72 because my teacher gave it to me. I promise i'm legit, and I won't lie. This is the real answer, and if you choose 336, you're probably getting it wrong. That's from Math Olympiad.

solution:

→c= a b , that is product of a and b is possible only when when a is m × n matrix and b is n × p matrix.

that is, number of columns of a= number of rows of b.

so, size of matrix , c= a b is , if a = (m × n)matrix

b= (n × p)matrix

then a b = [ (m × n)matrix] ×[   (n × p)matrix ]

→→c= a b= [m × p ] matrix

→→size of product a b will be equal to = number of rows of a × number of columns of b
