If I were to buy 3000 water melons and assemble them into the shape of a cube, what is the total surface area and volume?
I would also appreciate the measurements of the sides and weight.
Here's an extension:
If I were to assemble them into a sphere, what would the surface area and volume be now?
In order to figure out wieght, or to get mesurements, I would need to know the weight and mesurments of your watermealons. Also, asembling units into a sphere don't quite work like you seem to think it does. However, I can give you the mesurments of the cube in watermelon-lengths.
the cube root of 3000 is aproximately 164, so the side of the cube would be 164 watermelons long (aproximately, since 3000 is not a perfect cube).
The volume, of course, would be 3000 watermelons3.
The surface area would be 1642 = 26896, times 6, because a cube has 6 sides, = 161376 watermelons2.
Multiply the watermelons by the size of one watermelons, in you given problem.
Hope this helps!
