The volume of a cube of side S cm is given by S x S.
There are 2 cubes A and B each of volume X cm3. Cube B is cut into smaller cubes each of volume Y cm3. The surface area and volumes of the resulting cubes are compared
S1: The ratio of volumes of A and B = 1:1
S2: The ratio of surface areas of A and B = 1:1
Statement (S1): The ratio of volumes of A and B(after cutting) = 1:1
Statement (S2): The ratio of surface areas of A and B(after cutting) = 1:1
(a) If two cubes of dimensions 3 cm by 3 cm by 3 cm are placed side by side, then what is the resulting dimension(length (l), breadth (b) and height (h)) of the cuboid? Find the value of l+b+h (in cm). (b) A metallic cylinder with volume 1331 cm3 is melted and is transformed into a cube. What will be the length of the sides of the cube formed? (Volume of a cube with side length a is given as a3) [3 MARKS]
