Question:

The volumes of 3 solid cubes made of metal are $125 cm^3, 64 cm^3$ and $27 cm^3$ respectively. After melting all the three cubes a solid cube is made. Find the edge of the new cube.

Options:

2.5 cm

4 cm

6 cm

Explanation:

Volume of the new cube formed = 125 + 64 + 27 = 216 cm³

( Side )³  = 216

( Side )³  = 6³

So, Side = 6 cm
