Pls help! Unable to understand the answer key.
top+bottom = 2 x 9x4 = 72 cm²
left+right = 2 x 7x4 = 56 cm²
front+back = 2 x 9x7 = 126 cm²
total painted area
= 72+56+126 = 254 cm²
(b)
only the corner cubes have more than 1 face painted
how many corner cubes?
front&top row = 9x1 = 9
front&bottom row = 9x1 = 9
front&right row = (7-2)x1 = 5
front&left row = (7-2)x1 = 5
* -2 is to avoid double-count
back&top row = 9x1 = 9
back&bottom row = 9x1 = 9
back&right row = (7-2)x1 = 5
back&left row = (7-2)x1 = 5
left&top row = (4-2)x1 = 2
left&bottom row = (4-2)x1 = 2
right&top row = (4-2)x1 = 2
right&bottom row = (4-2)x1 = 2
total corner cubes = 9x4 + 5x4 + 2x4
= 64
total cubes in rectangular block
= 9x4x7 = 252
no. of cubes with 1 face painted
= 252 - 64
= 188
