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.

Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
they're is a neat little trick.
but first of all, "roots" means the 0 solutions of the equation. like
ax² + bx + c = 0
there are 2 solutions for x to make the whole expression equal 0.
these are the "roots".
now to the little trick :
when is a multiplication resulting in 0 ?
when at least one of the factors is 0.
and any quadratic expression can be written as multiplication of 2 factors. like
c(x - a)(x - b) = cx² - cax - cbx + cab
what are the "roots" or 0 points ?
either
c = 0
x - a = 0 | x = a
x - b = 0 | x = b
the leading coefficient = 3.
that means nothing else than c = 3.
root = 1 means (x - 1) is one factor.
root = -5 means (x + 5) is the other factor.
so, we have
3(x - 1)(x + 5) = 3x² + 12x - 15
and the equation is
3x² + 12x - 15 = 0
or
3x² + 12x = 15
