Question

judy is printing rubix cubes with a 3 - d printer. each cube has a side length of 3.5 inches. how much printing plastic does judy need to create 11 rubix cubes? in³ of printing plastic

Explanation:

Step1: Find volume of one cube

The volume formula for a cube is $V = s^3$, where $s$ is the side - length. Given $s = 3.5$ inches, so $V_1=(3.5)^3=3.5\times3.5\times3.5 = 42.875$ $in^3$.

Step2: Find volume for 11 cubes

Multiply the volume of one cube by the number of cubes. Let the number of cubes be $n = 11$. Then $V = n\times V_1=11\times42.875 = 471.625$ $in^3$.

Answer:

$471.625$
