Question

A metal cube has sides of length 4.5 cm, correct to the nearest 0.5 cm.

Answer 1

828 small spheres can be made from the metal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Side of the cube = 4.5cm

Volume = (a x a x a)

= (4.5 x 4.5 x 4.5)

= 91.125 cubic cm

Radius of the sphere = 3mm = 0.3 cm

Volume of 1 sphere = (4/3) π(r x r x r)

= (4/3) (3.14) (0.3 x 0.3 x 0.3)

= (4/3) (3.14) (0.027)

= 0.34/3

= 0.11 cubic cm

No. of spheres = 91.125/0.11

= 828.4

So, 828 small spheres can be made from the metal.
