Randy has a cube with an edge of 21 cm. From in the middle of one face of this cube Randy cuts out and removes a cube with an edge of 3 cm. Find the change in surface area of the original cube.
Randy has a cube with an edge of a = 21 cm. From in the middle of one face of this cube Randy cuts out and removes a cube with an edge of b = 3 cm. Find the change in surface area of the original cube.
Hello Guest!
\(S_1=6a^2=6\cdot (21cm)^2\)
\(S_1=2646cm^2\)
\(\Delta S=-b^2+5b^2=4b^2=4\cdot (3cm)^2\)
\(\Delta S=36cm^2\)
\(The\ cube\ changes\ its\ Surface\ by\ 36\ cm ^ 2.\)
\(S_2=S_1+\Delta S=2646cm^2+36cm^2\)
\(S_2=2682cm^2\)
