Question
24 cubes having sides equal to a cm each, and 24 more cubes
having sides equal to 2a cm each are melted to form a single cube such that diagonal of the new cube formed is 60√3 cm. Find the value of a.Solution
According to the question,
Each side of the bigger cube formed = 60√3/√3 = 60 cm (Diagonal = √3 × side)
Therefore, 24 × (a) 3 + 24 × (2a) 3 = 60 3
Or, 24a 3 × (1 3 + 2 3 ) = (60 × 60 × 60)
Or, 24a 3 (1 + 8) = (60 × 60 × 60)
Or, 216a 3 = 60 3
Or a 3 = (60/6) 3
Or, a = 10
