Find the Volume. Find the Volume. What is the smallest side length? What would the smallest cube be that could fit into the larger cube?
To find the volume of a cube, you need to cube the length of one side. Let's say the larger cube has a side length of 10 units.
Volume = side length^3
Volume = 10^3
Volume = 1000 cubic units
The smallest side length would be the side length of the smallest cube that can fit into the larger cube. This would be the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the side lengths of the two cubes.
For example, if the larger cube has a side length of 8 units, and the smaller cube has a side length of 4 units, then the GCD of 8 and 4 is 4. So, the smallest side length would be 4 units.
The smallest cube that could fit into the larger cube would have a side length equal to the smallest side length, in this case, 4 units.
