Stefan makes a cuboid that is 5 cm longer, 5 cm taller and 5 cm wider than Amina's cuboid. What is the difference between the number of cubes in Amina's and Stefan's cuboids? animas cuboid is 4x6x3

Answer: Stephan's cuboid has 90 cubes more than that of Amina

Step-by-step explanation: As stated in the question, Amina's cuboid has dimensions given as 4 cm by 6 cm by 3 cm. That means Amina's cuboid has a total volume of

Volume = L x W x H

Volume = 4 x 6 x 3

Volume = 72 cm³

A cube by standard has the length, width and height all measuring the same. This means, the in a cuboid with a volume of 72 cubic centimetres, you can find a cube with each side measuring 2 centimetres as follows;

Volume of cube = 2 x 2 x 2

Volume of cube = 8 cm³

Therefore,

Number of cubes = Volume of cuboid / Volume of cube

Number of cubes = 72/8

Number of cubes = 9

However, Stephan's cuboid now has each side measuring 5 centimetres more than each side of Amina's cuboid, hence Stephan's cuboid has the following dimensions,

L = 9 (4 + 5)

W = 11 (6 + 5)

H = 8 (3 + 5)

The volume of Stephan's cuboid therefore is derived as,

Volume = L x W x H

Volume = 9 x 11 x 8

Volume = 792 cm³

The number of cubes (with each side measuring 2 cm) in Stephan's cuboid is now derived as;

Number of cubes = Volume of cuboid / Volume of cube

Number of cubes = 792/8

Number of cubes = 99

From the results derived above, Stephan's cuboid has 99 cubes while Amina's cuboid has 9 cubes. The difference between both is 90 cubes.
