Karl piled twelve 1" cubes in three layers on top of a square made with four 1" cubes. What shape is the structure that Karl made?
The twelve 1" cubes divided by /3 layers give 4 cubes/layer
The shape is four layers of squares, 4 cubes on a side, or a cube with dimensions 4*4*4 cubes.
I still do not know what the shape of the structure is Jennifer.
Please help..more please.
Sorry i used a different username Jennifer but anyway I still do not get you.
Please tell me the shape
I don't see where the answers are at and I still need help please give out more information
Rectangular prism
To determine the shape of the structure Karl made, let's break it down step by step:
First, Karl made a square shape using four 1" cubes. This square shape is a 2-dimensional object with equal sides.
Next, Karl piled twelve 1" cubes in three layers on top of the square made with four cubes. This means there are three layers stacked on the square base.
Since each layer consists of four cubes (forming a square), and there are three layers, the 3D structure can be visualized as a square prism. A square prism is a 3-dimensional shape with two identical square bases and rectangular sides connecting these bases.
So, in this case, the shape of the structure Karl made is a square prism.
