Question

The figure below shows a rectangular prism and a cube:

How many such cubes are required to completely pack the prism without any gap or overlap?

240
900
1,440
3,658

Answer 1

Answer:1,440 cubes

Explanation:

A=LxHxW

6 inches=36 cubes

The width is 5 of those cubes

36x5=180

The height is 8 of the cubes

180x8=1440

It would take 1440 of those cubes to completely pack the prism without any gaps or overlays
