Answer: The total volume of the the cubes in the tower is 792 cubic centimetres (792 cm³)
Step-by-step explanation: We shall call the volume of the cube at the bottom VB, the volume of the cube at the middle VM, and the volume of the cube at the top VT. The tower is made up of cubes at different levels and at the bottom the cube measures 8 centimetres. The cube at the middle measures 2 cm less than the bottom cube, hence middle cube equals 8 minus 2 which equals 6 cm. The top cube measures 2 cm less than the middle cube, hence the top cube equals 6 minus 2 which equals 4 cm. The volume of each cube is given as;
Volume = L³
The length of a cube measures the same on all sides, that is, length, width and height. The length on all sides therefore of the bottom cube is 8 cm. The volume equals;
VB = 8³
VB = 512 cm³
The length on all sides of the middle cube is 6 cm (measures 2 cm shorter than the bottom cube). The volume of the middle cube equals;
VM = L³
VM = 6³
VM = 216 cm³
The length on all sides of the top cube is 4 cm (measures 2 cm shorter than the middle cube). The volume of the top cube equals;
VT = L³
VT = 4³
VT = 64
From the calculations shown, the total volume of the cubes in the tower is given as;
Total volume = VB + VM + VT
Total volume = 512 + 216 + 64
Total volume = 792 cm³
Total volume is 792 cubic centimetres.

Answer for the first one - it's complicated, but that maths is correct
I kind of cheated and did it a different way than they'd expect. By doing 24 squared, that gives you 576.
since both angles are 45 degrees, then the sides are equal lengths. Therefore x squared times 2 = 576.
Because of this, x squared = 576 divided by 2, which equals 288.
Therefore the square root of 288 = 12 square root 2
A cube, is made off 6 squarial faces, so all faces on that cube, are squares, the front, back, left, right, top and bottom.
a square has all equal sides, and also all right angles, so all angles in a square are 90°. Let's say the sides are "x" long.
now, if we run a plane on that cube diagonally, check the picture below, the diagonal side at the bottom, by usin the 45-45-90 rule as you see it there, will be x√2.
let's keep in mind that, "x" is opposite side of that angle θ, and then x√2 will be the adjacent side of it.
and we can use those two to get the tangent and then the inverse tangent to get the value, as you see it in the picture.
if you need the angle in radians, run the inverse tangent again, just make sure your calculator is in radians mode.
