A 3 by 3 cube is constructed of 27 blocks. How many blocks are needed to construct a cube with twice the dimensions of the original cube?

Asked by Wysockiv

Answer (2)

"Twice the dimensions" means the length, width, and height of the new cube are all 6.
To build that cube, you need (6 x 6 x 6) = 216 blocks.

Doubling the dimensions of a 3 by 3 cube results in a new cube with dimensions of 6 units each side. This new cube has a volume of 216 cubic units. Therefore, 216 blocks are needed to construct this larger cube.
