Answer:
5400 cubes can be fit into the prism.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the dimensions of prism as:
5 units by 5 units by 8 units i.e. 5 units×5 units×8 units.
Hence, the volume of the prism is given by:
Volume of prism=5×5×8=200 cubic units
Also the edge length of cube is given by= 1/3 unit.
Hence volume of 1 cube=
[tex]\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1}{27}[/tex]
Hence volume of 1 cube= (1/27) cubic units.
Let 'n' cubes can be fitted into the prism.
Hence we have the relation as:
Volume of prism=n×Volume of 1 cube.
200=n×(1/27)
n=200×27
n=5400
Hence 5400 cubes can be fitted into the prism.
